DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for support of the meeting "The Laboratory Mouse in Vision Research II" to be held at The Jackson Laboratory (TJL) in Bar Harbor Maine on September 27-30, 2006. The emphasis of the meeting will be on the use of the laboratory mouse and molecular genetics to study retinal biology and disease. The primary objectives are, 1) to bring together investigators who have a common interest in the use of the laboratory mouse and mouse mutants in vision research as a tool for understanding human retinal biology and disease, and 2) to provide increased hands-on opportunities and information focused on basic technical aspects of using the mouse as a model for studying human visual function. Because of this dual format, the conference will provide a unique opportunity for established investigators and students to interact and exchange ideas regarding the use of the laboratory mouse and molecular genetics to study the retina, its associated diseases, as well as their relation to extra retinal visual function. The meeting will consist of three platform sessions, nine workshops, one poster session and a keynote address. The conference is designed to be intimate with no more than 120 participants and faculty, consisting of PI's, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students. Graduate and postdoctoral students are encouraged to attend, and funds for student travel will be made available to make the meeting more accessible both to students and under-represented minorities. Relevance to public health: This kind of meeting is expected to promote awareness among students and establish investigators in the field of vision research, particularly as new models and methodologies are becoming more readily and rapidly available.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请用于支持将于2006年9月27日至30日在缅因州巴尔港的杰克逊实验室（TJL）举行的“视觉研究中的实验室老鼠II”会议。会议的重点将是利用实验室小鼠和分子遗传学来研究视网膜生物学和疾病。会议的主要目标是：1)将对在视觉研究中使用实验室小鼠和小鼠突变体作为理解人类视网膜生物学和疾病的工具有共同兴趣的研究人员聚集在一起；2)提供更多的动手机会和信息，重点关注使用小鼠作为研究人类视觉功能模型的基本技术方面。由于这种双重形式，会议将为成熟的研究人员和学生提供一个独特的机会，就使用实验室小鼠和分子遗传学研究视网膜，其相关疾病，以及它们与额外视网膜视觉功能的关系进行互动和交流。会议将包括三个平台会议、九个研讨会、一个海报会议和一个主题演讲。会议被设计为亲密的，不超过120名与会者和教师，包括PI，博士后研究员和研究生。鼓励研究生和博士后学生参加，并为学生旅行提供资金，使学生和代表性不足的少数民族更容易参加会议。与公共卫生的相关性：这种会议预计将提高学生的认识，并在视觉研究领域建立调查人员，特别是在新的模型和方法越来越容易和迅速获得的情况下。
