PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The Vision Sciences Society is a nonprofit membership organization of nearly 2000 scientists interested in the functional aspects of vision. VSS was founded in 2001 with the purpose of bringing together scientists from a broad range of disciplines including visual psychophysics, visual neuroscience, computational vision and visual cognition. The scientific content of the meetings reflects the breadth of topics and interconnected ideas and approaches in modern vision science, from visual coding to perception, recognition and the visual control of action, as well as recent developments in cognitive psychology, computer vision and neuroimaging. Since its founding, VSS has provided a forum and framework for communicating advances in vision science, and VSS has become a flagship conference for the field. The interdisciplinary nature of VSS is reflected in the deliberately diverse membership of the Board of Directors and Abstract Review Committee. Many of the faculty from institutions in the United States who attend VSS are principal investigators of National Eye Institute grants; hence, the research objectives of the programs of the National Institutes of Health and of the National Eye Institute are well-represented in the program planning and individual presentations. Over 60% of participants are predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees. Of these 55% are US citizens. VSS provides multiple career development opportunities: (1) the platform and poster presentations provide a forum for trainees to showcase their work and receive feedback, (2) career-development workshops cover topics such as “Getting that Faculty Job”, “Reviewing and Responding to Reviews”, “The Public Face of your Science”, “Careers in Industry and Government”, “Faculty Careers at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions”, and include panel discussions with journal editors, NIH and NSF grant officers, and academic and industry representatives, (3) a “Meet the Professors” event in which trainees meet in small groups with members of the VSS Board and other professors for free-wheeling, open-ended discussions, and (4) a partnership with ARVO to host a symposium series that exposes VSS attendees to advances in clinical research from ARVO members and ARVO attendees to advances in basic research from VSS members. VSS also provides many formal events and informal opportunities for networking with peers and senior colleagues in a comfortable and engaging setting. The large contingent of early-stage investigators at VSS is a sign of the strong health of the field and the opportunity VSS provides for advancing the field. Our goal is to facilitate access and participation for this next generation of vision scientists. VSS previously received a one-year R13 award to support the 2019 meeting by providing travel awards for postdoctoral trainees and early-career faculty. Based on the success and positive impact of this initial support, the purpose of this 5-year proposal is to provide 48 travel awards per year for early-career investigators to attend the 2020-2024 meetings, with the focus on attracting and supporting a diverse pool of undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral trainees, and pre-tenure faculty who demonstrate potential for future success as vision researchers and whose research findings will be presented at the meeting. Funds are also requested to offset the registration costs for undergraduate attendees in order to significantly expand access and participation at the conference for students first encountering the field of vision science.

项目摘要/摘要 Vision Sciences Society是一个非营利组织的成员组织，该组织的近2000位科学家感兴趣 视觉的功能方面。 VSS成立于2001年，目的是将科学家汇集在一起 广泛的学科包括视觉心理物理学，视觉神经科学，计算视觉和视觉 认识。会议的科学内容反映了主题和相互联系的思想的广度和 现代视觉科学的方法，从视觉编码到感知，识别和视觉控制 行动以及认知心理学，计算机视觉和神经影像学方面的最新发展。自从它 VSS创立了一个论坛和框架，用于传达视觉科学的进步，VSS 已成为该领域的旗舰会议。 VSS的跨学科性质反映在 故意使董事会成员和摘要审查委员会成员资格。许多教师 来自参加VSS的美国机构是国家眼科研究所的主要研究人员 赠款；因此，美国国立卫生研究院和国家计划的计划的研究目标 眼科研究所在计划计划和个人演讲中有很好的代表性。超过60％ 参与者是专业和博士后学员。这55％是美国公民。 VSS提供多个 职业发展机会：（1）平台和海报演示文稿为培训提供了一个论坛 展示他们的作品并收到反馈，（2）职业发展研讨会涵盖主题，例如“获取 那项教师工作，“审查和回应评论”，“科学的公众面孔”，“职业 行业和政府”，“主要是本科机构的教师职业”，包括小组 与期刊编辑，NIH和NSF赠款官员以及学术和行业代表的讨论，（3）A “与教授见面”活动，学员与VSS董事会成员和其他成员会面 自由轮，开放式讨论的教授，以及（4）与Arvo举办研讨会的合作伙伴关系 系列将VSS参与者展示Arvo成员和Arvo的临床研究进展 参加VSS成员基础研究进展的与会者。 VSS还提供许多正式活动， 与同龄人和高级同事在舒适而引人入胜的环境中与同行和高级同事建立联系的机会。 VSS的早期调查人员的大型组合是该领域和该领域健康的标志 机会VSS提供了前进的领域。我们的目标是促进接下来的访问和参与 视力科学家的一代。 VSS先前获得了一年的R13奖项，以支持2019年的会议 为博士后学员和早期职业学院提供旅行奖。基于成功和积极 这项最初支持的影响，该5年提案的目的是每年提供48个旅行奖 早期职业调查人员参加2020-2024会议，重点是吸引和支持 多样化的本科生和研究生，博士后学员和陈旧的教师 展示了作为视觉研究人员未来成功的潜力，并将呈现其研究结果 在会议上。还要求资金抵消本科参与者的注册费用 为了大大扩大在会议上的访问和参与，首先遇到的学生 视觉科学。
