DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) The National Eye Institute currently sponsors several programs in ocular immunology, many of which are based in laboratories of Harvard Medical School faculty members. Although this investment is already significant, the NEI has included in its strategic plan a major expansion in these activities over the next several years. The recruitment and training of individuals to fuel this expansion, is critical for the realization of this plan. The goal of this proposed new Training Program in Ocular Immunology at Harvard Medical School is precisely to recruit students and postdoctoral fellows of the highest caliber to pursue training directly relevant to central issues in vision research. While existing training programs have funded general research areas with the hope that some of the trainees will eventually pursue vision research, this program will be unique in that the program centers on training future investigators in ocular immunology. The Program has been designed following considerable internal discussion, as well as discussions with program staff at the National Eye Institute. Matriculants into the program will be exposed to a defined program of study in both basic and ocular immunology, and can chose to pursue their research in the laboratories over 30 faculty members investigating projects that are either directly or indirectly relevant to the goals of the National Eye Institute. Trainees will be chosen regardless of gender or ethnicity, and will be provided an outstanding environment in which they may develop into independently thinking scientists, specializing in the field of ocular immunology. The training of predoctoral fellows will occur in the context of the Harvard Graduate Program in Immunology, one of the leading graduate programs in immunology in the country. Postdoctoral training will be offered in the context of the Training Program in place at HMS (based at the Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary and Schepens Eye Research Institute), which is an acknowledged center for research in ocular immunology. The training will be accomplished through formal course-work, laboratory rotations, literature discussions, discussions with faculty and mentored research (in laboratories of program faculty). Students may choose from over 30 faculty for rotations and laboratory work in all major areas of immunology. The program faculty have been specifically chosen (from a total of nearly 90) for research programs that are directly or indirectly relevant to the mission of the NEI. Policies and guidelines for graduate work are set by the Graduate Committee, a body of senior faculty active in the field of immunology, in accordance with those of the Division of Medical Sciences.

描述：(申请人摘要)国家眼科研究所目前 赞助了几个眼睛免疫学的项目，其中许多项目的基础是 哈佛医学院教职员工的实验室。虽然这件事 投资已经很大，NEI已经在其战略计划中包括了 在接下来的几年里，这些活动将会有重大的扩展。这个 招聘和培训个人以推动这种扩张，对于 这个计划的实现。这项拟议的新培训计划的目标是 哈佛医学院眼科免疫学正是为了招收学生 和最高素质的博士后研究员直接进行培训 与视觉研究中的中心问题相关。虽然现有的培训计划 资助了一般研究领域，希望一些受训人员能够 最终从事视觉研究，这一计划将是独一无二的 该计划的重点是培训未来的眼睛免疫学研究人员。这个 计划也是在经过大量的内部讨论后设计出来的 作为与国家眼科研究所项目工作人员的讨论。高考生 进入计划将接触到一个明确的学习计划，在两个基本 和眼睛免疫学，并可以选择在 实验室30多名教职员工正在调查以下项目 与国家眼科研究所的目标直接或间接相关。 学员将不分性别或种族被挑选出来，并将被提供 一个优秀的环境，使他们可以独立发展 有思想的科学家，专门研究眼睛免疫学领域。这个 博士前研究员的培训将在哈佛大学的背景下进行 免疫学研究生课程，美国领先的研究生课程 这个国家的免疫学。博士后培训将在此背景下提供 HMS(设在马萨诸塞州眼耳)的培训计划 医院和谢彭斯眼科研究所)，这是一个公认的中心 用于眼睛免疫学的研究。培训将通过以下方式完成 正式课程--工作、实验室轮换、文献讨论、讨论 与教员和有指导的研究(在计划教员的实验室)。 学生可以从30多名教员中选择轮换和实验室工作 免疫学的所有主要领域。该计划的教职员工已经特别 (从近90个项目中选择)用于直接或 与NEI的使命间接相关。政策和指导方针 研究生工作由高级教职员工组成的研究生委员会制定 活跃在免疫学领域，根据 医学系。
