YOUNG SCIENTIST SUPPORT FOR VISION STUDIES

视觉与眼科研究协会（ARVO）成立 1928年，鼓励和协助研究、培训、出版和 传播视觉和眼科知识。 主 ARVO的年度科学会议是实现这一目标的工具， 5,000多名科学家聚集一堂，就当前的愿景交换信息， 眼科研究 这次会议在世界上特别重要， 培养年轻的研究人员。 会议提供了一个论坛， 展示和评论他们的作品，但也是一个非正式的环境， 在那里他们可以讨论他们的研究问题。 与人交往， 在他们的领域的领导者，他们可以看到持续奉献的价值 为他们的研究而努力。 这笔赠款的目的是为前往下列地点的旅费提供部分支助： ARVO会议为那些表现出潜力的年轻研究人员 未来的重大研究成果，其研究成果 会上提出的建议， 视觉和眼科社区。 作为ARVO正在进行的倡议的一部分， 吸引和留住有前途的年轻调查人员，他们有资格成为会员， 在生物医学研究中代表性不足的少数群体和其他群体的参与 并且其作品被接受用于展示， 将提供赠款资金以支持他们。 奖学赠款的获得者是由一个由资深 研究人员，谁担任主要审查员。 执行委员会 ARVO（总裁，副总裁，前任总裁，前任副总裁， 和秘书/司库）审查选择，并作为第二个 审查小组。

The Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology (ARVO) was founded in 1928 to encourage and assist research, training, publication, and dissemination of knowledge in vision and ophthalmology. The primary vehicle for achieving this goal is ARVO's Annual Scientific Meeting where over 5,000 scientists meet to exchange information on current vision and ophthalmology research. This meeting is of particular importance in the development of young investigators. The meeting provides a forum, not only for presentation and critique of their work, but also an informal setting in which they can discuss their research problems. By associating with the leaders in their field, they can see the value of continued dedicated effort towards their research. The objective of this grant is to provide partial support for the travel to the ARVO Meeting for those young investigators who demonstrate potential for future significant research accomplishment, and whose research findings to be presented at the meeting are considered to be of high interest to the vision and ophthalmology community. As part of ARVO's ongoing initiative to attract and retain promising young investigators, who qualify as members of underrepresented minorities, and other groups, in biomedical research and whose work is accepted for presentation, up to 25 percent of the travel grant funds will be made available for their support. Awardees of the travel grants are selected by a committee of senior researchers, who serve as the primary reviewers. The Executive Committee of ARVO (President, Vice President, Past President, Past Vice President, and Secretary/Treasurer) reviews the selections and serves as the secondary review team.
