项目摘要

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, and by its formal relationship with the more clinically-oriented Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. 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 through which trainees from one society can carry out research or attend the meeting of the other. Informally, VSS provides 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. The purpose of this grant is to provide 35 travel awards (5 for ARVO affiliates) for early-career investigators to attend the 2019 meeting, with the focus on attracting and supporting a diverse pool of pre- doctoral 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 support childcare services for awardees and workshops and social events for all early-career participants.

项目概要/摘要视觉科学协会是一个非营利性会员组织，由近 2000 名对视觉感兴趣的科学家组成。 VSS 成立于 2001 年，旨在汇集来自不同领域的科学家。广泛的学科，包括视觉心理物理学、视觉神经科学、计算视觉和视觉会议的科学内容反映了主题的广度和相互关联的想法和观点。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的最新发展。 VSS 成立以来，为交流视觉科学的进步提供了一个论坛和框架，并且 VSS VSS 的跨学科性质体现在该领域的旗舰会议上。董事会和摘要审查委员会的成员构成严重多元化，并通过其正式的与更多以临床为导向的视觉和眼科研究协会的关系。参加 VSS 的美国机构的教员是 National Eye 的首席研究员研究所拨款；因此，美国国立卫生研究院和美国国立卫生研究院的项目的研究目标国家眼科研究所在项目规划和个人演讲中的代表性超过 60%。参与者是博士前和博士后实习生，其中 55% 是 VSS 提供的多名美国公民。职业发展机会：（1）平台和海报展示为学员提供了一个交流的平台展示他们的工作并接收反馈，(2) 职业发展研讨会涵盖诸如“获得那份教职工作”、“审查和回应审查”、“你的科学的公众形象”、“职业生涯” 工业和政府”、“主要本科院校的教师职业”，并包括小组与期刊编辑、NIH 和 NSF 资助官员以及学术和行业代表进行讨论，(3) “与教授见面”活动，学员以小组形式与 VSS 董事会成员和其他人员会面教授进行自由、开放式的讨论，以及 (4) 与 ARVO 的合作伙伴关系 VSS 提供非正式的方式，来自一个协会的学员可以开展研究或参加另一个协会的会议。在舒适且引人入胜的环境中与同事和资深同事建立联系的机会。 VSS 的早期研究人员队伍是该领域健康发展和 VSS 机遇的标志我们的目标是促进下一代的进入和参与。这笔赠款的目的是为早期职业生涯提供 35 个旅行奖励（ARVO 附属机构有 5 个）。调查人员参加 2019 年会议，重点是吸引和支持多样化的预审人员群体表现出未来成功潜力的博士生、博士后实习生和终身教职人员作为视觉研究人员，其研究成果将在会议上发表，也需要资金。支持为获奖者提供儿童保育服务，并为所有早期职业参与者提供讲习班和社交活动。
