A vital component of information exchange, poster sessions presenting the most recent research findings are scheduled as plenaries to promote maximum communication among researchers with common interests. Whether your interest is the molecular biology of nicotine, biobehavioral research on nicotine effects, or societal effects of tobacco and nicotine dependence, it is hard to keep up with new research as it develops. And, while a number of scientific societies cover different aspects of substance abuse, none prioritizes nicotine and tobacco research, funding for that research, social policy related to smoking, and reimbursement issues in a changing health care environment. When you join SRNT, you have an opportunity to participate in the development of an international organization dedicated solely to the study of nicotine and tobacco. There are 3 categories of membership.
Full membership confers the privileges of voting and holding elective office.
Student membership is for trainees enrolled in a full-time training program in a relevant field. Affiliate membership is for those who do not meet the criteria for either Full or Student membership with documented interest in some aspect of research on nicotine and tobacco control. Application for membership presumes and implies support for the goals of the Society. Everyone knows about the many attractions at Opryland and the lively shows at the Grand Ole Opry, and the Nashville Network. And, the new Delta complex at the Opryland Hotel offers 4 acres of river, gardens, shops, and restaurants covered by a crystal-like glass roof.
