PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Vision Sciences Society is a nonprofit membership organization of nearly 2000 scientists interested in the functional aspects of vision. VSS was founded in 2001 with the purpose of bringing together scientists from a broad range of disciplines including visual psychophysics, visual neuroscience, computational vision and visual cognition. The scientific content of the meetings reflects the breadth of topics and interconnected ideas and approaches in modern vision science, from visual coding to perception, recognition and the visual control of action, as well as recent developments in cognitive psychology, computer vision and neuroimaging. Since its founding, VSS has provided a forum and framework for communicating advances in vision science, and VSS has become a flagship conference for the field. The interdisciplinary nature of VSS is reflected in the deliberately diverse membership of the Board of Directors and Abstract Review Committee, and by its formal relationship with the more clinically-oriented Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Many of the faculty from institutions in the United States who attend VSS are principal investigators of National Eye Institute grants; hence, the research objectives of the programs of the National Institutes of Health and of the National Eye Institute are well-represented in the program planning and individual presentations. Over 60% of participants are predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. Of these 55% are US citizens. VSS provides multiple career development opportunities: (1) the platform and poster presentations provide a forum for trainees to showcase their work and receive feedback, (2) career-development workshops cover topics such as “Getting that Faculty Job”, “Reviewing and Responding to Reviews”, “The Public Face of your Science”, “Careers in Industry and Government”, “Faculty Careers at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions”, and include panel discussions with journal editors, NIH and NSF grant officers, and academic and industry representatives, (3) a “Meet the Professors” event in which trainees meet in small groups with members of the VSS Board and other professors for free-wheeling, open-ended discussions, and (4), a partnership with ARVO through which trainees from one society can carry out research or attend the meeting of the other. Informally, VSS provides opportunities for networking with peers and senior colleagues in a comfortable and engaging setting. The large contingent of early-stage investigators at VSS is a sign of the strong health of the field and the opportunity VSS provides for advancing the field. Our goal is to facilitate access and participation for this next generation of vision scientists. The purpose of this grant is to provide 35 travel awards (5 for ARVO affiliates) for early-career investigators to attend the 2019 meeting, with the focus on attracting and supporting a diverse pool of pre- doctoral students, postdoctoral trainees, and pre-tenure faculty who demonstrate potential for future success as vision researchers and whose research findings will be presented at the meeting. Funds are also requested to support childcare services for awardees and workshops and social events for all early-career participants.

项目总结/摘要 视觉科学协会是一个非盈利性会员组织，由近2000名对视觉科学感兴趣的科学家组成。 视觉功能方面。VSS成立于2001年，目的是将来自世界各地的科学家聚集在一起， 广泛的学科，包括视觉心理物理学，视觉神经科学，计算视觉和视觉 认知.会议的科学内容反映了议题的广度和相互关联的想法， 现代视觉科学的方法，从视觉编码到感知，识别和视觉控制， 行动，以及认知心理学，计算机视觉和神经成像的最新发展。以来 成立以来，VSS为交流视觉科学的进步提供了一个论坛和框架， 已成为该领域的旗舰会议。VSS的跨学科性质反映在 董事会和摘要审查委员会的成员故意多样化，并通过其正式的 与更注重临床的视觉和眼科研究协会的关系。许多 参加VSS的美国机构的教师是国家眼的主要研究者 研究所赠款;因此，美国国立卫生研究院和美国国家卫生研究院的计划的研究目标， 国家眼科研究所在项目规划和个人演讲中有很好的代表性。超过60%的 参加者是博士前和博士后的受训人员。其中55%是美国公民。VSS提供多个 职业发展机会：（1）平台和海报展示为学员提供了一个论坛， 展示他们工作并接受反馈，（2）职业发展研讨会涵盖的主题包括“获得 教师的工作”，“审查和回应评论”，“你的科学的公众形象”，“职业生涯在 工业和政府”，“教师职业在小学本科院校”，并包括小组 与期刊编辑、NIH和NSF资助官员以及学术界和行业代表进行讨论，（3）a “会见教授”活动，学员以小组形式与VSS董事会成员和其他 教授自由，开放式的讨论，和（4），与ARVO的伙伴关系，通过 一个学会的受训人员可以进行研究或参加另一个学会的会议。非正式地，VSS提供 有机会在舒适和引人入胜的环境中与同行和高级同事建立联系。大 VSS的早期调查人员队伍是该领域健康状况良好的标志，也是VSS的机会 提供了推进领域。我们的目标是促进下一代的接触和参与， 视觉科学家。这笔赠款的目的是为35名职业生涯早期的青年提供旅行奖励（ARVO附属机构5名）。 调查人员参加2019年会议，重点是吸引和支持多样化的预 博士生、博士后实习生和表现出未来成功潜力的终身教职员工 作为视觉研究者，他们的研究成果将在会议上发表。还要求提供资金 支持为获奖者提供托儿服务，并为所有早期职业参与者举办讲习班和社会活动。
