Summary: This application seeks funds to support the travel of young investigators to attend the Biennial International Symposium on Retinal Degeneration (RD meeting) in the years 2020, 2022, and 2024. The meetings are scheduled as satellite meetings of the Biennial Meeting of the International Society for Eye Research (ISER). The location and timing of the RD meetings are coordinated with the location and timing of the ISER meeting. The 2020 RD meeting has been named RD20/20 and will be held in Mendoza, Argentina on October 20th-25th, and will be the 19th successive RD meeting. The locations of meetings in 2022 and 2024 will be in Asia and the US respectively. The Specific Aims of the RD meetings covered by this application are: 1. To enhance the emerging careers of 20 Young Investigators (with equal representation by women and the inclusion of minorities) in retinal degeneration research by providing full travel support. 2. To provide a platform to advance career development of Young Investigators. 3. 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 to these diseases. 4. 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. The requested funds will only support the travel, accommodation, and registration fees for students, postdocs, fellows, and junior investigators who otherwise would not have the resources to attend these focused meetings. The RD meetings have a 35-year history of scientific participation by leading retinal degeneration specialists (basic scientists, clinician scientists, and more recently industry scientists), with a focus on macular degeneration and inherited retinal degenerations that affect photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium. All presentations will include fresh, unpublished date covering the latest advances in the field. Topics typically include the latest advances in genetics, mechanisms of disease, drug development, gene therapy and gene editing updates, stem cell therapies, tools to monitor disease progression, and reports on clinical trials. These meetings provide and ideal environment for trainees and young faculty to establish or accelerate their careers in the field by providing exposure to leaders in the field, providing a forum for new avenues for discovery, opportunities to develop collaborations, and will serve to encourage investigators to translate new findings into novel therapies.

总结： 这项申请寻求资金，以支持年轻调查员参加两年一度的国际 2020年、2022年和2024年的视网膜变性研讨会（RD会议）。这些会议 作为国际眼科研究学会（ISER）两年一次的会议的卫星会议。 研发会议的地点和时间与ISER会议的地点和时间进行协调。 20/20年RD会议已命名为RD 20/20，将于10月20日至25日在阿根廷门多萨举行， 这将是连续第19次研发会议。2022年和2024年的会议地点将在亚洲， 美国分别。 本申请涵盖的研发会议的具体目的是： 1.加强20名青年调查员的新兴职业（男女比例相同， 包括少数民族）在视网膜变性研究提供充分的旅行支持。 2.为青年研究员提供职业发展平台。 3.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 这些疾病的治疗方法。 4.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背景的视觉科学家创造机会 以满足和建立研究合作。申请的资金只够支付旅费， 学生、博士后、研究员和初级研究人员的住宿费和注册费， 否则将没有资源出席这些重点会议。 研发会议已有35年的历史，由领先的视网膜变性专家进行科学参与 （基础科学家、临床科学家和最近的行业科学家），重点关注黄斑 影响光感受器和视网膜色素上皮的变性和遗传性视网膜变性。 所有演讲将包括新鲜的，未发表的日期，涵盖该领域的最新进展。主题通常 包括遗传学、疾病机制、药物开发、基因治疗和基因方面的最新进展 编辑更新，干细胞疗法，监测疾病进展的工具，以及临床试验报告。这些 会议为学员和年轻教师提供了理想的环境，以建立或加速他们的职业生涯 通过向该领域的领导者提供曝光机会，为发现新途径提供论坛， 发展合作的机会，并将有助于鼓励研究人员将新的发现转化为 新疗法
