Project Summary With this application, we propose to continue the Moran Eye Center T32 Vision Research Training Grant (VRTG) ending in 2018. The principle underlying graduate and postdoctoral VRTG education at the University of Utah is that students experience strong interdisciplinary, interdepartmental collaborations that cover both basic research and applied approaches to vision science. Our program offers predoctoral and postdoctoral training in fundamental areas -- molecular biology, electrophysiology, developmental neuroscience, retina connectomics, translational science and visual behavior – that are critical to achieve a successful career in visual neuroscience. The program combines systematic didactic training that focuses on critical thinking, communication skills, and analytic rigor with research training that takes advantage of the core strengths of the Moran Eye Center and the vision research community at the University of Utah: a long-standing, continued track record of excellence in the cutting-edge praxis molecular biology, physiology and connectomics, and the study of human disease. Twenty-three NIH/NEI- or NSF-funded faculty members are aligned in five broad areas of vision research: Molecular Biology/Biochemistry, Cellular and Developmental Science, Ocular Disease/Animal Models, Translational Interventions, and Computational Science. Reflecting the program’s breadth, these areas provide exceptional opportunities to the 44 currently eligible predoctoral and postdoctoral trainees (Table 1). This application requests funding for two predoctoral and two postdoctoral trainees. The program outcomes from the previous period are listed in (Table 8A, 8C). Recent graduates of the Moran Eye Center have been placed in top-notch postdoctoral fellowships (at Indiana University, Bloomington, at UT Southwestern and at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City), and our postdoctoral trainees have published widely and are competing successfully for NIH R01 funding. The renewal builds on coursework that keeps pace with ongoing discoveries in vision research, especially in the recently expanding areas of molecular and genetic models of vision, genomic approaches to disease, and computational data analysis at the University of Utah. The strong track record of the program suggests that trainees from the University of Utah will continue to excel as future leaders in vision research.

项目摘要 通过此应用，我们建议继续Moran Eye Center T32视觉研究培训赠款 （VRTG）结束于2018年。 犹他州的学生经历了强大的跨学科，跨部门的合作，涵盖了这两者 基础研究和视觉科学的应用方法。我们的计划提供专业和博士后 基本领域的培训 - 分子生物学，电生理学，发育神经科学，视网膜 连接组学，转化科学和视觉行为 - 这对于取得成功的职业至关重要 视觉神经科学。该计划结合了系统的教学训练，该培训的重点是批判性思维， 沟通技巧和分析性严格的研究培训利用了核心优势 Moran眼中心和犹他大学的视觉研究社区：一个长期的，持续的 最先进的实践分子生物学，生理学和连接组和卓越的记录 人类疾病的研究。二十三个NIH/NII-或NSF资助的教职员工在五个宽度上排列 视力研究领域：分子生物学/生物化学，细胞和发育科学，眼科 疾病/动物模型，翻译干预和计算科学。反映该程序的 广度，这些领域为当前符合条件和博士后的44个提供了特殊的机会 学员（表1）。该申请要求为两名占主导地位和两名博士后学员提供资金。这 （表8A，8C）中列出了上一开始的程序成果。莫兰眼最近的毕业生 中心已被安置在一流的博士后奖学金中（在UT的印第安纳大学，布卢明顿印第安纳大学 西南和犹他大学，盐湖城），我们的博士后学员已经出版 广泛，正在成功争夺NIH R01资金。续约建立在持续的课程基础上 随着视觉研究中持续的发现的步伐，尤其是在最近扩展的分子和 视力的遗传模型，疾病的基因组方法和计算数据分析 犹他州。该计划的强烈记录表明，犹他大学的培训将继续 作为视觉研究的未来领导者脱颖而出。
