Summary/Abstract We seek renewed partial funding for the next three meetings (2018, 2020, and 2022) of the conference "Retinal Neurobiology and Visual Processing", administered by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). This unique forum attracts top retinal scientists with diverse backgrounds in systems and cellular neurobiology, computational and developmental biology, and vision research. We showcase the latest conceptual insights and technical advances in the field. Our 180 participants span all professional levels. Interaction is extensive throughout and offers stimulating debate, sound guidance, and fertile ground for collaboration. The 2018 conference (at St. Bonaventure University, NY) is the 14th meeting of this highly valued biennial conference. The provisional program provides a balanced survey of groundbreaking new research into topics of deep interest to the early-vision community. Major topics include: 1) ganglion cell structure and function; 2) retinal direction selectivity; 3) translational retinal neurobiology; 4) retinal bipolar and amacrine cells; 5) retinal synapses; 6) intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells; 7) retinal development; and 8) visual processing beyond the retina. In addition, two interactive workshops are planned, one on new advances in imaging for retinal research and another on career development for early investigators. Two special sessions feature exciting and timely work selected from submitted poster abstracts from junior colleagues, particularly graduate students. These highly popular “Data Blitz” sessions provide an opportunity for 24 junior colleagues to present five-minute synopses of their posters. This ensures active engagement of junior participants in the conference and stimulates attendance at poster sessions. Programming for the 2020 and 2022 meetings will be developed later, to allow organizers to feature the latest and greatest work, but the goals will remain constant: a diverse and engaging set of talks and posters; and intensive, productive informal exchanges spanning the retinal processing field. As reflected in the proposed program and documented positive feedback from younger attendees, organizers make a concerted effort to design a meeting that engages and serves our pre- and postdoctoral trainees, as well as early-stage independent investigators. We provide travel awards to help them attend, opportunities to speak or otherwise present their work, and best- poster awards to acknowledge those of particular accomplishment. We reserve many plenary talks for advanced postdocs and junior faculty to enhance their visibility and career development. Graduate students get experience in public presentation, expand their conceptual and technical horizons, and enjoy extended access to world-class faculty as they ponder their postdoctoral options.

摘要/摘要 我们为会议的接下来的三场会议（2018、2020和2022）寻求新的部分资金 美国社会联合会管理的“视网膜神经生物学和视觉处理” 实验生物学（FASEB）。这个独特的论坛景点顶级视网膜科学家具有潜水员的背景 系统和细胞神经生物学，计算和发育生物学以及视力研究。我们 展示该领域的最新概念见解和技术进步。我们的180名参与者跨越了所有 专业级别。整个互动都广泛，并提供令人兴奋的辩论，合理的指导和 合作的沃土。 2018年会议（在纽约州圣博纳文特大学举行）是第14届会议 这个非常有价值的双年展会议。临时计划提供了对开创性的平衡调查 对早期视觉社区深刻兴趣主题的新研究。主要主题包括：1）神经节细胞 结构和功能； 2）视网膜方向选择性； 3）翻译残留神经生物学； 4）视网膜双极和 无长血性细胞； 5）视网膜突触； 6）本质上光敏的视网膜神经节细胞； 7）视网膜发育； 8）视网膜以外的视觉处理。此外，还计划了两个互动研讨会，一个是新的 剩余研究的成像进展以及早期研究人员的职业发展的另一个。二 特殊会议的特征是从Junior提交的海报摘要中选择的令人兴奋的及时工作 同事，特别是研究生。这些非常流行的“数据闪电”会议提供了机会 对于24名初级同事来说，提出了五分钟的海报概要。这确保了积极参与 会议的初级参与者并刺激参加海报会议。 2020年的编程 以及2022年的会议将在稍后开发，以允许组织者展示最新，最出色的工作，但 目标将保持不变：潜水员和一系列谈判和海报；和密集，富有成效的非正式 跨越视网膜处理场的交换。正如拟议程序中所反映的，并记录了 来自年轻与会者的积极反馈，组织者共同努力设计会议 参与并为我们的博士后学员以及早期独立研究人员服务。我们 提供旅行奖，以帮助他们参加，有机会讲话或以其他方式介绍他们的工作以及最好的 海报奖是要承认特定成就的奖项。我们保留许多全体会谈 高级博士后和初级教师，以增强其知名度和职业发展。研究生 获得公开演讲的经验，扩大其概念和技术视野，并享受扩展 当他们考虑自己的博士后选择时，可以进入世界一流的教职员工。
