FASEB's The Biology and Chemistry of Vision Conference

项目摘要 这项申请旨在为初级调查员和学员提供资金，以参加两年一度的美国联邦调查局。 实验生物学学会（FASEB）关于“生物学和化学”的科学研究会议 的愿景”。自1985年成立以来，这一直是最成功和最有影响力的会议之一， 光感受器生物学。这次会议的主要目标是把老科学家和年轻科学家聚集在一起， 讨论在光感受器生物学和病理生物学的广泛和不同的领域的最新进展。 这次重点会议在一个私密的环境中举行（小型会议中心，共享餐点）， 少量研究人员（约150人），以促进科学交流。该方案结合了高- 质量，正式介绍新颖的实验结果与非正式的互动，在一个友好的，合议 气氛会议还具有巨大的教育，职业发展和网络价值的初级 investigators.因此，本申请所要求的资金将用于支付差旅费 以及青年科学家的会议费，包括博士前和博士后学员和初级研究人员 助理教授的水平。该计划强调了最近的，往往是最有争议的， 在实地进行研究，及时解决问题，并确定新出现的趋势，所有这些都促进了 为今后的工作进行合作。2021年，该计划将包括9个平台会议，4个海报会议，两个 DataBlitz演示文稿，一个主旨演讲者，和一个职业发展研讨会的重点是赠款写作。

PROJECT SUMMARY This application seeks funds for junior investigators and trainees to attend the biennial Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) Science Research Conferences on the “The Biology and Chemistry of Vision”. Since its inception in 1985, this has been one of the most successful and influential meetings focused on photoreceptor biology. The major goal of the meeting is to bring together established and young scientists to discuss the most recent advances in the broad and diverse fields of photoreceptor biology and pathobiology. This focused meeting is held in an intimate setting (small conference center with shared meals) for a relatively small number of researchers (~150) in order to catalyze scientific interchange. The program combines high- quality, formal presentations of novel experimental results with informal interactions in a friendly, collegial atmosphere. The meeting also has tremendous educational, career-development and networking value for junior investigators. Accordingly, the funding requested in this application will be used for covering the travel expenses and conference fees for the young scientists, including pre- and post-doctoral trainees and junior investigators at the level of assistant professor. The program emphasizes the most recent, and often most controversial, research in the field, address timely questions and identifies emerging trends, all of which catalyzes collaborations for future work. In 2021, the program will include 9 platform sessions, 4 poster sessions, two DataBlitz presentations, a keynote speaker, and a career development workshop focused on grant writing.
