DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application is for partial support of the 15th biennial Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) summer conference on "The Biology and Chemistry of Vision" to be held on June 9-14, 2009 in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Since its inception in 1985, this has been one of the premier and most successful meetings focused on photoreceptor biology. The major goal of the 2013 meeting is to highlight the most recent advances in a broad and diverse range of photoreceptor function issues. We would also like to boost the size of the meeting to as close to 160 people (near upper limit) as possible by making every effort to attract new people with diverse backgrounds and interests, especially junior scientists, who will be the lifeblood of the next generation. Indeed, reflecting our desire to keep the meeting fresh and lively, all speakers in the 2013 meeting will be new. There will be nine platform sessions and two poster sessions, with multiple themes. The first, as the core theme from the first (1985) of these meetings on, is the molecular and cellular details of pigments and retinoid turnover in both rods and cones, as well as the latest news about the physiology and biochemistry of the photo transduction mechanism. The second, incorporated into the past few meetings, is the cell biology and development of photoreceptors. The third, entirely new, is about the regulation of photoreceptor function by circadian and metabolic mechanisms. The fourth seeks to expand the meeting beyond photo transduction in vertebrate rods and cones as well as into synaptic transmission. Finally, the fifth again an added topic only in the past few meetings, is about diseases, animal models and therapy. In keeping with the success in past meetings, the 2013 meeting will continue to emphasize close and intense scientific interactions among the participants, especially between senior and junior investigators, with many of the latter also giving platform presentations. The funding requested in this application will in fact be used for supporting the travel expenses and conference fees for the young scientists, including pre- and post-doctoral trainees and junior investigators who have received little or no NIH funding yet for their research programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请是为了部分支持将于 2009 年 6 月 9 日至 14 日在斯廷博特举行的第 15 届美国实验生物学会联合会 (FASEB) 夏季会议，主题为“视觉的生物学和化学”科罗拉多州斯普林斯。自 1985 年创办以来，这一直是关注光感受器生物学的最重要、最成功的会议之一。 2013 年会议的主要目标是强调广泛且多样化的光感受器功能问题的最新进展。我们还希望将会议规模扩大到尽可能接近160人（接近上限），尽一切努力吸引具有不同背景和兴趣的新人，特别是年轻科学家，他们将是下一代的命脉。一代。事实上，所有发言者都反映了我们希望使会议保持新鲜和活跃的愿望 2013年的会议将是新的。将有九个平台会议和两个海报会议，有多个主题。第一个是自第一次（1985 年）会议以来的核心主题，是视杆细胞和视锥细胞中色素和类视黄醇周转的分子和细胞细节，以及有关光转导的生理学和生物化学的最新消息机制。第二个主题是细胞生物学和光感受器的发育，已纳入过去几次会议中。第三个是全新的，是关于昼夜节律和代谢机制对光感受器功能的调节。第四个旨在将会议扩展到脊椎动物视杆细胞和视锥细胞中的光转导以及突触传递之外。最后，第五次会议再次增加了过去几次会议中才出现的主题，是关于疾病、动物模型和治疗。秉承以往会议的成功经验，2013 年会议将继续强调与会者之间密切而激烈的科学互动，特别是高级和初级研究人员之间的互动，其中许多初级研究人员还将进行平台演示。该申请中要求的资金实际上将用于支持年轻科学家的旅费和会议费，包括博士前和后实习生以及尚未获得 NIH 很少或没有为其研究项目提供资金的初级研究人员。
