This application is a request for funds to support the XVth International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration (RD2012) to be held in Bad G¿gging, Bavaria, Germany July 16 - 21, 2012. This meeting is a satellite of the XXth Biennial Meeting of the International Society for Eye Research (ISER), to be held in Berlin, Germany July 22 - 27, 2012. The RD2012 meeting will be focused on the role of innate and acquired immunity in the initiation and progression of retinal degenerative diseases. The recent discovery that mutations in genes related to regulation of the immune system, specifically innate immunity, are responsible for 75% of age- related macular degeneration (AMD) demonstrates the important role the immune system plays in this disease. In fact, there is increasing recognition of the active participation of the immune system in many forms of retinal degeneration, either a primarily cause, as appears to be the case in most forms of AMD, or during the degenerative pathological stages that take place in many of the early onset forms of retinitis pigmentosa (RP). The Specific Aims of the XVth International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration are: 1. To enhance the emerging careers of 20 young investigators (including women and underrepresented minorities) in retinal degeneration research by providing travel awards. 2. To provide a forum for dissemination of the most recent advances in the state of knowledge on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of acquired, inherited, and age-related retinal degenerations, and new therapeutic approaches. 3. To create an environment that will facilitate the exchange of novel ideas among basic and clinician scientists and generate the opportunity for vision scientists of all ethnic groups and social backgrounds to meet and establish research collaborations 4. To organize a program focused on the role of the immune system in retinal degenerations. The requested funds will support the travel of 20 young investigators and 3 invited plenary lecturers, plus some modest administrative expenses.

此申请是为支持第十五届视网膜变性国际研讨会的资金请求 （RD 2012）将于2012年7月16日至21日在德国巴伐利亚州巴德格京举行。这次会议是 国际眼科研究学会（ISER）第二十届双年度会议，将于德国柏林举行 2012年22 - 27日。RD 2012会议将重点讨论先天性和获得性免疫在免疫系统中的作用。 视网膜变性疾病的发生和发展。最近发现基因突变 与免疫系统的调节有关，特别是先天免疫，负责75%的年龄- 相关性黄斑变性（AMD）证明了免疫系统在这种疾病中发挥的重要作用。 事实上，越来越多的人认识到免疫系统在许多形式的视网膜病变中的积极参与。 退化，无论是主要原因，似乎是在大多数形式的AMD的情况下，或在 退行性病理阶段，发生在许多早期发作形式的视网膜色素变性（RP）中。 第十五届视网膜变性国际研讨会的具体目标是： 1.为了加强20名年轻调查员（包括妇女和 少数民族）在视网膜变性研究中提供旅行奖励。 2.提供一个论坛，以传播关于 获得性、遗传性和年龄相关性视网膜变性的病理生理机制，以及 新的治疗方法。 3.创造一个环境，促进基础和临床医生之间交流新的想法 科学家，并为所有种族和社会的视觉科学家创造机会 背景，以满足和建立研究合作 4.组织一个专注于免疫系统在视网膜变性中的作用的项目。 所要求的资金将用于20名年轻调查员和3名受邀的全体演讲人的差旅费， 适度的行政费用。
