DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for partial support of the newly established Visual Systems Development Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) to be held on May 24-25, 2014 at the Renaissance Tuscany IL Choco Resort in Lucca, Italy. The GRS seminar is designed to provide outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows who conduct vision science research the opportunity to assemble and present current, unpublished research amongst peers in a non-intimidating forum. Additionally, the intimacy of the meeting offers the opportunity to interact, foster collaborations and share career support amongst the leaders and next generation of vision scientists. The GRS precedes the established Visual Systems Development Gordon Research Conference (GRC), and therefore attendees of the GRS are already comfortable with discussion formats, research topics and scientific discussions and are more likely to actively participate in discussions with the senior scientists attending the GRC. Furthermore, concerted effort is made to encourage participation and garner interest of under-represented minorities in developmental biology and vision science research. To achieve the initiatives stated above, the meeting will include a keynote talk by Bill Harris (Cambridge University) and three scientific sessions totaling twelve speakers selected from submitted abstracts. After each talk, ample time is given for scientific discussion amongst attendees. Further work is presented during two, 90- minute poster sessions that provide additional forums for scientific discussion. The collegial atmosphere is cultivated in these scientific discussions, over meals, and through an additional social hour on Saturday evening. Through these interactions, attendees will be presented with the emerging questions in the field of vision sciences. Understanding the developmental principles that regulate the development of the eye and associated visual centers in the brain has provided and will continue to provide fundamental insights into areas such as stem cell biology, proliferation/fate/differentiation processes in general, as well as ocular and visual disease mechanisms.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是为新成立的视觉系统开发戈登研究研讨会（GRS）的部分支持将于2014年5月24日至25日在文艺复兴托斯卡纳IL乔科度假村在卢卡，意大利举行。GRS研讨会旨在为从事视觉科学研究的优秀研究生和博士后研究员提供机会，在一个非恐吓性论坛中汇集和展示同行中当前未发表的研究。此外，会议的亲密关系为领导者和下一代视觉科学家提供了互动，促进合作和分享职业支持的机会。GRS先于既定的视觉系统开发戈登研究会议（GRC），因此GRS的与会者已经熟悉了讨论格式，研究主题和科学讨论，并且更有可能积极参与与参加会议的高级科学家的讨论。 GRC。此外，还作出协调一致的努力，鼓励代表性不足的少数群体参与发育生物学和视觉科学研究，并引起他们的兴趣。为了实现上述举措，会议将包括比尔·哈里斯（Bill Harris）（剑桥大学）的主题演讲和三场科学会议，共有从提交的摘要中选出的12名演讲者。每次演讲后，都有充足的时间供与会者进行科学讨论。进一步的工作将在两个90分钟的海报会议上展示，为科学讨论提供额外的论坛。学院的气氛是培养在这些科学讨论，在吃饭，并通过一个额外的社交小时在星期六晚上。通过这些互动，与会者将提出视觉科学领域的新问题。了解调节眼睛和大脑中相关视觉中心发育的发育原则已经并将继续提供对干细胞生物学，增殖/命运/分化过程以及眼部和视觉疾病机制等领域的基本见解。
