REGISTRATION OPENS DECEMBER 11, 2026
SUBMISSIONS Are Open!
Submissions for the 50th Annual RSA Scientific Meeting are open. Don't miss this opportunity to showcase your research!
The primary goal of the Annual RSA Scientific Meeting is to provide a forum for alcohol researchers – from all disciplines – to present their latest findings and to learn about new research developments in an environment that will provide interaction at both the professional and personal level.
The RSA Meeting provides a premier forum for alcohol researchers across all disciplines to present their latest findings and learn about new developments in a collaborative and engaging environment. Both junior and senior investigators are strongly encouraged to submit proposals. The Program Committee gives special consideration to sessions that reflect broad representation and inclusion across gender, race, ethnicity, geography, career stage, and institutional background and to those addressing topics such as racial and health disparities, comorbidity, or intersectionality in alcohol research.
If you are interested in compiling or participating in a panel and/or looking for additional RSA attendees to collaborate with on a symposium, workshop or round table submission, please list your name and information below. Anyone listed below agrees to be contacted by fellow RSA attendees. Program Interest List.
