DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for support of the meeting "The Laboratory Mouse in Vision Research II" to be held at The Jackson Laboratory (TJL) in Bar Harbor Maine on September 27-30, 2006. The emphasis of the meeting will be on the use of the laboratory mouse and molecular genetics to study retinal biology and disease. The primary objectives are, 1) to bring together investigators who have a common interest in the use of the laboratory mouse and mouse mutants in vision research as a tool for understanding human retinal biology and disease, and 2) to provide increased hands-on opportunities and information focused on basic technical aspects of using the mouse as a model for studying human visual function. Because of this dual format, the conference will provide a unique opportunity for established investigators and students to interact and exchange ideas regarding the use of the laboratory mouse and molecular genetics to study the retina, its associated diseases, as well as their relation to extra retinal visual function. The meeting will consist of three platform sessions, nine workshops, one poster session and a keynote address. The conference is designed to be intimate with no more than 120 participants and faculty, consisting of PI's, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students. Graduate and postdoctoral students are encouraged to attend, and funds for student travel will be made available to make the meeting more accessible both to students and under-represented minorities. Relevance to public health: This kind of meeting is expected to promote awareness among students and establish investigators in the field of vision research, particularly as new models and methodologies are becoming more readily and rapidly available.

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请是为了支持2006年9月27日至30日在缅因州巴尔港的杰克逊实验室（TJL）举行的“视觉研究II实验室鼠标II”。会议的重点是使用实验室鼠标和分子遗传学来研究视网膜生物学和疾病。主要目标是：1）将在视觉研究中使用实验室小鼠和小鼠突变体的使用具有共同兴趣的研究人员作为理解人类视网膜生物学和疾病的工具，以及2）提供更多的动手机会和信息，这些机会和信息集中在使用小鼠作为研究人类视觉功能的模型的基本技术方面。由于这种双重格式，会议将为知名的研究人员和学生提供一个独特的机会，以相互交互和交换有关使用实验室小鼠和分子遗传学研究视网膜，其相关疾病以及与额外视网膜视觉功能的关系的想法。会议将包括三个平台会议，九个研讨会，一个海报会议和一个主题演讲地址。该会议旨在与不超过120名参与者和教职员工，包括PI的，博士后研究员和研究生。鼓励研究生和博士后学生参加，并提供学生旅行资金，以使会议更容易被学生和代表性不足的少数民族访问。与公共卫生的相关性：预计这种会议有望促进学生之间的认识，并在视觉研究领域建立调查人员，尤其是随着新的模型和方法变得越来越容易，迅速地获得。
