DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this proposal is to obtain funding to support the participation of speakers as well as more junior students and postdocs to the third Visual System Development Gordon Research Conference to be held at Roger Williams University, Bristol, Rhode Island, June 6-11, 2004. The purpose of this Gordon Conference is to bring together investigators using Drosophila and vertebrate animal models to study the development and the evolution of the visual system. The goal is to generate an understanding of common principles that regulate visual system development. This is the third time that this conference is being held as a Gordon Conference. The first incarnation of this meeting was held as the Drosophila Visual System Development Workshop in 1992. The scope of the meeting was expanded to include vertebrate systems in 1994, when the seminal paper from Walter Gehring's lab showed that the same 'master control gene' (Pax6) specifies eye organ fate in both flies and vertebrates. Visual System Development Workshops continued to provide a stimulating venue for cross-fertilization of ideas between the Drosophila and vertebrate scientific communities. The meeting was accepted as a Gordon Conference in 2000. The Gordon Conference model is an ideal fit for this conference, with a selected set of talks and ample time for discussion as well as posters providing an excellent compromise between breadth and depth in a limited agenda. This format allows for, indeed requires, ample time for both formal and informal discussion, giving participants the opportunity to interact and exchange ideas in a highly stimulating and scientifically exciting setting. This type of scientific meeting provides individual investigators with new ideas and potential collaborations, and could also serve as a strategic planning tool for generating ideas for the upcoming NEI five-year plan for vision research. The field has grown and continues to expand rapidly. Having the capacity to accept 120 people has spread the benefit of The Visual System Development conference more widely.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是获得资金，以支持演讲者以及更多的初级学生和博士后参加将于2004年6月6日至11日在罗得岛布里斯托罗杰威廉姆斯大学举行的第三届视觉系统开发戈登研究会议。 这次戈登会议的目的是汇集研究人员使用果蝇和脊椎动物模型来研究视觉系统的发展和进化。目的是产生对调节视觉系统发育的共同原则的理解。这是该会议第三次作为戈登会议举行。这个会议的第一个化身是在1992年举行的果蝇视觉系统开发研讨会。1994年，会议的范围扩大到包括脊椎动物系统，当时Walter Gehring实验室的开创性论文表明，相同的“主控制基因”（Pax6）指定了果蝇和脊椎动物的眼睛器官命运。视觉系统开发研讨会继续为果蝇和脊椎动物科学界之间的思想交流提供了一个激励人心的场所。该会议于2000年被接受为戈登会议。戈登会议模式是本次会议的理想选择，有一组选定的会谈和充足的时间进行讨论，以及海报提供了一个很好的妥协之间的广度和深度在一个有限的议程。这种形式允许、实际上需要有充足的时间进行正式和非正式讨论，使与会者有机会在一个高度刺激和科学上令人兴奋的环境中进行互动和交换意见。这种类型的科学会议为个人研究者提供了新的想法和潜在的合作，也可以作为一个战略规划工具，为即将到来的NEI五年视觉研究计划产生想法。 该领域已经成长，并继续迅速扩大。有能力接受120人已经传播了视觉系统开发会议的好处更广泛。
