DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for partial support of the newly established Visual Systems Development Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) to be held on May 24-25, 2014 at the Renaissance Tuscany IL Choco Resort in Lucca, Italy. The GRS seminar is designed to provide outstanding graduate students and postdoctoral research fellows who conduct vision science research the opportunity to assemble and present current, unpublished research amongst peers in a non-intimidating forum. Additionally, the intimacy of the meeting offers the opportunity to interact, foster collaborations and share career support amongst the leaders and next generation of vision scientists. The GRS precedes the established Visual Systems Development Gordon Research Conference (GRC), and therefore attendees of the GRS are already comfortable with discussion formats, research topics and scientific discussions and are more likely to actively participate in discussions with the senior scientists attending the GRC. Furthermore, concerted effort is made to encourage participation and garner interest of under-represented minorities in developmental biology and vision science research. To achieve the initiatives stated above, the meeting will include a keynote talk by Bill Harris (Cambridge University) and three scientific sessions totaling twelve speakers selected from submitted abstracts. After each talk, ample time is given for scientific discussion amongst attendees. Further work is presented during two, 90- minute poster sessions that provide additional forums for scientific discussion. The collegial atmosphere is cultivated in these scientific discussions, over meals, and through an additional social hour on Saturday evening. Through these interactions, attendees will be presented with the emerging questions in the field of vision sciences. Understanding the developmental principles that regulate the development of the eye and associated visual centers in the brain has provided and will continue to provide fundamental insights into areas such as stem cell biology, proliferation/fate/differentiation processes in general, as well as ocular and visual disease mechanisms.

描述（由申请人提供）：此申请是为了部分支持新成立的视觉系统开发Gordon Research Research研讨会（GRS），将于2014年5月24日至25日在意大利卢卡的文艺复兴时期的Tuscany Tuscany Il Choco Resort举行。 GRS研讨会旨在为杰出的研究生和博士后研究研究员提供主持视觉科学研究的机会，以在一个非激动人心的论坛中组装和介绍同龄人之间的当前，未发表的研究。此外，会议的亲密关系为互动，促进合作并分享领导者和下一代愿景科学家的职业支持提供了机会。 GRS先于已建立的视觉系统开发戈登研究会议（GRC），因此，GRS的与会者已经对讨论格式，研究主题和科学讨论感到满意，并且更有可能积极参加与参加高级科学家参加的讨论。 GRC。此外，为鼓励参与并获得了代表性不足的少数群体在发育生物学和视觉科学研究中的兴趣。为了实现上述倡议，会议将包括比尔·哈里斯（Bill Harris）（剑桥大学）的主题演讲和三个科学会议，共有十二位来自提交摘要的演讲者。每次谈话结束后，都有足够的时间进行与会者之间的科学讨论。在两个，90分钟的海报会议上提出了进一步的工作，这些海报提供了其他论坛进行科学讨论。在这些科学讨论，在餐点上以及周六晚上的额外社交时光中，在这些科学讨论中培养了氛围。通过这些互动，将向与会者提出视觉科学领域的新兴问题。了解调节大脑中眼睛和相关视觉中心发展的发展原理已经提供，并将继续提供对干细胞生物学，增殖/命运/分化过程等领域的基本见解，以及眼和视觉疾病机制。
