项目摘要

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 All presentations will include fresh, unpublished date covering the latest advances in the field.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.

概括：该申请寻求资金来支持年轻调查员的旅行，参加双年展国际 2020年，2022年和2024年的视网膜变性研讨会（RD会议）。会议是原定为国际眼研究协会（ISER）两年一次的卫星会议。 RD会议的位置和时间与ISER会议的位置和时机协调。 2020 Rd会议已被命名为RD20/20，将于10月20日至25日在阿根廷门多萨举行。并将连续第19届RD会议。 2022年和2024年的会议地点将在亚洲和我们分别。该应用程序涵盖的RD会议的具体目的是： 1。提高20名年轻调查员的新兴职业（妇女同等代表和通过提供全面的旅行支持，将少数民族包括在视网膜退化研究中。 2。提供一个平台来推进年轻调查员的职业发展。 3。提供一个论坛，以传播有关知识状态的最新进展获得，遗传和年龄相关的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。创造一个可以促进基础和临床医生之间新思想交流的环境科学家并为所有种族和社会背景的视觉科学家带来了机会见面并建立研究合作。请求的资金只会支持旅行，为学生，博士后，研究员和初级调查人员的住宿和注册费否则，将没有参加这些集中会议的资源。 RD会议有35年的科学参与历史（基础科学家，临床科学家以及最近的行业科学家），重点是黄斑变性和遗传性视网膜变性，影响感光体和视网膜色素上皮。所有演讲将包括新的，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，药物发育，基因治疗和基因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有关临床试验的报告。这些会议为受训者和年轻教师提供了建立或加速其职业的理想环境在该领域，通过向该领域的领导者提供接触，为发现新途径提供了一个论坛，建立合作的机会，并将鼓励调查人员将新发现转化为新疗法。
