Summary/Abstract We seek renewed partial funding for the next three meetings (2018, 2020, and 2022) of the conference "Retinal Neurobiology and Visual Processing", administered by the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB). This unique forum attracts top retinal scientists with diverse backgrounds in systems and cellular neurobiology, computational and developmental biology, and vision research. We showcase the latest conceptual insights and technical advances in the field. Our 180 participants span all professional levels. Interaction is extensive throughout and offers stimulating debate, sound guidance, and fertile ground for collaboration. The 2018 conference (at St. Bonaventure University, NY) is the 14th meeting of this highly valued biennial conference. The provisional program provides a balanced survey of groundbreaking new research into topics of deep interest to the early-vision community. Major topics include: 1) ganglion cell structure and function; 2) retinal direction selectivity; 3) translational retinal neurobiology; 4) retinal bipolar and amacrine cells; 5) retinal synapses; 6) intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells; 7) retinal development; and 8) visual processing beyond the retina. In addition, two interactive workshops are planned, one on new advances in imaging for retinal research and another on career development for early investigators. Two special sessions feature exciting and timely work selected from submitted poster abstracts from junior colleagues, particularly graduate students. These highly popular “Data Blitz” sessions provide an opportunity for 24 junior colleagues to present five-minute synopses of their posters. This ensures active engagement of junior participants in the conference and stimulates attendance at poster sessions. Programming for the 2020 and 2022 meetings will be developed later, to allow organizers to feature the latest and greatest work, but the goals will remain constant: a diverse and engaging set of talks and posters; and intensive, productive informal exchanges spanning the retinal processing field. As reflected in the proposed program and documented positive feedback from younger attendees, organizers make a concerted effort to design a meeting that engages and serves our pre- and postdoctoral trainees, as well as early-stage independent investigators. We provide travel awards to help them attend, opportunities to speak or otherwise present their work, and best- poster awards to acknowledge those of particular accomplishment. We reserve many plenary talks for advanced postdocs and junior faculty to enhance their visibility and career development. Graduate students get experience in public presentation, expand their conceptual and technical horizons, and enjoy extended access to world-class faculty as they ponder their postdoctoral options.

摘要/摘要 我们为会议接下来的三场会议（2018 年、2020 年和 2022 年）寻求新的部分资金 “视网膜神经生物学和视觉处理”，由美国社团联合会管理 实验生物学 (FASEB) 这个独特的论坛吸引了具有不同背景的顶尖视网膜科学家。 系统和细胞神经生物学、计算和发育生物学以及视觉研究。 我们的 180 名参与者涵盖了各个领域，展示了该领域的最新概念见解和技术进步。 专业水平的互动贯穿始终，并提供刺激的辩论、合理的指导和 2018 年会议（在纽约州圣博纳文图尔大学举行）是第 14 次会议。 这次高度重视的两年一度的会议对开创性的会议进行了平衡的调查。 针对早期视觉界深感兴趣的主题的新研究主要主题包括：1）神经节细胞。 结构和功能；2）视网膜方向选择性；3）平移视网膜神经生物学； 无长突细胞；5) 视网膜突触；6) 本质感光视网膜神经节细胞；7) 视网膜发育； 8）超越视网膜的视觉处理 此外，还计划举办两场互动研讨会，一场是关于新的。 视网膜研究成像方面的进展以及早期研究人员职业发展方面的进展 两个。 特别会议的特色是从初级学生提交的海报摘要中选出的令人兴奋和及时的作品 这些高度“数据闪电战”的会议提供了一个机会。 让 24 名初级同事展示五分钟的海报概要，这确保了员工的积极参与。 会议的初级参与者并鼓励参加 2020 年海报会议。 2022 年的会议将在稍后制定，以便组织者能够展示最新、最伟大的作品，但 目标将保持不变：一系列多样化、引人入胜的演讲和海报； 正如拟议的计划和记录中所反映的那样，跨越视网膜处理领域的交流。 由于年轻与会者的积极反馈，组织者齐心协力设计了一次会议 我们为我们的博士前和博士后实习生以及早期独立研究人员提供服务。 提供旅行奖励以帮助他们参加、演讲或以其他方式展示其作品的机会，以及最好- 海报奖是为了表彰那些取得特殊成就的人，我们保留了许多全体会议的演讲。 高级博士后和初级教师，以提高他们的知名度和研究生的职业发展。 获得公开演讲的经验，扩大他们的概念和技术视野，并扩展 在考虑博士后选择时接触世界一流的教师。
