DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The University of California, Berkeley School of Optometry (UCBSO) seeks 5 years of support to train clinician-scientists in accordance with the guidelines of the Institutional Clinical Scientist Development Program (K12). The Berkeley Clinical Scientist Development Program will provide interdisciplinary training to enable well-established clinicians to carry out high-level, independent, clinical (patient-based) vision research. The University of California, Berkeley (UCB) K12 program will draw upon the rich resources of world-renowned departments and groups on the Berkeley campus, including Vision Science, Optometry, Public Health, Neuroscience, Infectious Disease, Bioengineering, Health and Medical Science, and Molecular & Cell Biology. The Berkeley K12 Program will feature two unique elements: (1) The recruitment of established clinicians who wish to make a career shift from clinical practice and teaching to one centered on the combination of teaching and independent, federally funded, patient-based vision research. (2) The multidisciplinary composition of a distinguished and diverse mentoring group composed of faculty with expertise in vision research, plus faculty whose primary expertise is not in vision, but who have extensive experience in clinical research. The program will provide the awardees with focused, cutting-edge didactic and mentored clinical research training tailored specifically to the individual's career plan. The curriculum will consist of course work, seminars, research in campus-wide laboratory facilities and clinics, and closely mentored supervision from a group of nationally recognized scientists and clinicians. Trainees will conduct research in one of seven clinical research areas: Retinal Disease, Corneal Disease, Strabismus, Amblyopia, Visual Processing, Low Vision & Blindness Rehabilitation, and Lens & Cataract - all of which are consistent with the Programs and Research Priorities of the National Eye Institute. The Berkeley program is designed so that upon completion, the trainees will be able to compete successfully for research resources and maintain a productive and independent career in patient-based vision research. Several strategies will be used to recruit established clinicians (e.g., OD, MD, DVM, DDS, or equivalent professional degree) whose clinical expertise is either within or outside the ophthalmic community. Four trainees would be recruited during the first year, and then one additional trainee admitted in each of the following four years (total admitted by 5th year = 8).

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学伯克利分校视光学学院（UCBSO）寻求5年的支持，以按照机构临床科学家发展计划（K12）的指导方针培训临床科学家。伯克利临床科学家发展计划将提供跨学科的培训，使成熟的临床医生进行高层次的，独立的，临床（以患者为基础）的视觉研究。加州大学伯克利分校（UCB）K12计划将利用伯克利校园内世界知名部门和团体的丰富资源，包括视觉科学，验光，公共卫生，神经科学，传染病，生物工程，健康和医学科学以及分子与细胞生物学。伯克利K12计划将具有两个独特的元素：（1）招聘既有临床医生，他们希望从临床实践和教学转向以教学和独立，联邦资助，以患者为基础的视觉研究相结合为中心的职业转变。(2)一个杰出的和多样化的指导小组的多学科组成，由具有视觉研究专业知识的教师组成，加上其主要专业知识不是视觉，但在临床研究方面有丰富经验的教师。该计划将为获奖者提供专门针对个人职业规划的重点，前沿教学和指导临床研究培训。该课程将包括课程工作，研讨会，在校园范围内的实验室设施和诊所的研究，并从一组国家认可的科学家和临床医生密切指导监督。学员将在七个临床研究领域之一进行研究：视网膜疾病，角膜疾病，斜视，弱视，视觉处理，低视力和失明康复，以及透镜和白内障-所有这些都符合国家眼科研究所的计划和研究重点。伯克利计划的目的是，在完成后，学员将能够成功地竞争研究资源，并保持在以患者为基础的视觉研究的生产力和独立的职业生涯。将使用几种策略来招募已建立的临床医生（例如，OD、MD、DVM、DDS或同等专业学位），其临床专业知识在眼科社区内外。第一年将招收四名受训人员，随后四年每年再招收一名受训人员（第五年共招收8名）。
