# FASEB's The Biology and Chemistry of Vision Conference

> **NIH NIH R13** · FEDERATION OF AMER SOC FOR EXPER BIOLOGY · 2022 · $1

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
This application seeks funds for junior investigators and trainees to attend the biennial Federation of American
Societies of Experimental Biology (FASEB) Science Research Conferences on the “The Biology and Chemistry
of Vision”. Since its inception in 1985, this has been one of the most successful and influential meetings focused
on photoreceptor biology. The major goal of the meeting is to bring together established and young scientists to
discuss the most recent advances in the broad and diverse fields of photoreceptor biology and pathobiology.
This focused meeting is held in an intimate setting (small conference center with shared meals) for a relatively
small number of researchers (~150) in order to catalyze scientific interchange. The program combines high-
quality, formal presentations of novel experimental results with informal interactions in a friendly, collegial
atmosphere. The meeting also has tremendous educational, career-development and networking value for junior
investigators. Accordingly, the funding requested in this application will be used for covering the travel expenses
and conference fees for the young scientists, including pre- and post-doctoral trainees and junior investigators
at the level of assistant professor. The program emphasizes the most recent, and often most controversial,
research in the field, address timely questions and identifies emerging trends, all of which catalyzes
collaborations for future work. In 2021, the program will include 9 platform sessions, 4 poster sessions, two
DataBlitz presentations, a keynote speaker, and a career development workshop focused on grant writing.
