项目总结/摘要 南加州大学罗斯基眼K12计划将提供指导研究培训沿着与教学和实践 培训学者谁表现出承诺的职业生涯作为一个临床科学家在视觉研究。USC Roski Eye K12学者将受益于一系列资产：1）沉浸在激烈的学术， 在USC Roski眼科研究所的高度创新的研究环境，在NEI资助中排名第二; 2）研究 由一个富有成效的，完善的32名具有成功导师跟踪记录的Prereceptors小组进行培训， 共持有56项NIH赠款（包括30项R 01，2项P01，5项U 54，U 01或U10，5项P30或P50 奖项，和2个T32）; 3）经验丰富，有能力和承诺的领导团队;和4）精心设计的 个性化的课程，将使学者具备成为独立所需的研究技能 临床科学家学者将有机会沉浸在以下眼科研究中 主题：成像，生物工程和纳米技术，流行病学，炎症和再生， 神经退化。USC Roski Eye K12提出了四个目标：1）使学者具备进行 视觉研究通过个性化的、说教式的研究训练; 2）导师学者能够阐述精辟、重要的 研究思路，设计科学严谨的方法，批判性地分析结果和交流研究 研究结果; 3）培训学者积极促进合作和多学科团队的方法，以推进 愿景研究;和4）过渡学者发展独立和富有成效的研究计划。在 在可交付成果方面，所有学者都应发表和展示他们的研究成果，并开发 并提交强有力的，科学严谨的，有竞争力的个人指导职业发展（K系列）或 研究（R系列）补助金申请。USC Roski Eye K12计划，学者和预测者将 定期进行批判性评估，以确保该计划在实现目标方面的有效性。USC Roski 因此，眼睛K12将产生有才华的，有前途的新眼科医生，科学家致力于成为 杰出的，创新的，独立的研究人员，他们将解决视力障碍并领导视力研究 进入21世纪

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT The USC Roski Eye K12 program will provide mentored research training along with didactic and practical training to Scholars who demonstrate a commitment to a career as a clinician-scientist in vision research. USC Roski Eye K12 Scholars will benefit from a constellation of assets: 1) immersion in the intensely academic, highly innovative research environment at the USC Roski Eye Institute, ranked #2 in NEI funding; 2) research training by a productive, well-established group of 32 Preceptors with successful mentorship track-records who collectively hold 56 active NIH grants (including 30 R01s, 2 P01s, 5 U54, U01 or U10 awards, 5 P30 or P50 awards, and 2 T32s); 3) an experienced, capable and committed leadership team; and 4) a carefully designed individualized curriculum that will equip Scholars with the research skills needed to become independent clinician-scientists. Scholars will have the opportunity for research immersion in the following ophthalmologic themes: Imaging, Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, Epidemiology, Inflammation and Regeneration, and Neurodegeneration. The USC Roski Eye K12 proposes four aims: 1) Equip Scholars with skills to conduct vision research by individualized, didactic research training; 2) Mentor Scholars to articulate incisive, important research ideas, design scientifically rigorous approaches, critically analyze results and communicate research findings; 3) Train Scholars to proactively foster a collaborative and multidisciplinary team approach to advance vision research; and 4) Transition Scholars to develop independent and productive research programs. In terms of deliverables, all Scholars will be expected to publish and present their research findings, and develop and submit strong, scientifically rigorous, competitive individual mentored career development (K series) or research (R series) grant applications. The USC Roski Eye K12 program, Scholars, and Preceptors will be critically and regularly evaluated to ensure the program’s effectiveness in achieving the aims. The USC Roski Eye K12 will thus produce talented, promising new ophthalmologist-scientists dedicated to becoming outstanding, innovative, independent investigators who will address visual impairment and lead vision research into the 21st century.
