DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-established graduate and research program in Vision Science at Indiana University seeks support for five years for two clinicians to be trained within the guidelines for the Institutional Clinical Scientist Development Program. The specific aim of the program is to train clinician scientists and patient oriented clinical investigators who in turn will establish an independent research program in vision. This proposal specifically outlines two programs, one in visual optics and the other in cornea to train two clinicians for careers in vision research. The trainees will be integrated into the formal Ph.D. degree program in Vision Science at Indiana University. Currently Ph.D. degree requires a total of 90 credit hours, of which 30 must come from didactic courses. In order to allow more time for clinicians to focus on research, the program allows the clinically trained graduate students to use 6 credits from the clinical program towards their 30 credit-didactic requirement. Professors Bonanno and Thibos, two highly accomplished investigators, with long track records of funded research and graduate training, will be the primary mentors for the two selected trainees. Each mentor has a long term collaborative relationship with a number of basic and clinical scientists both within the Vision Science program and outside with other departments such as psychology, neuroscience, chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, computer science, medical science, ophthalmology, physiology and biophysics. The seamless interaction between other departments of the University Graduate School at Indiana University will be fully utilized to enhance the educational and research experiences of the selected clinicians. A communication system will be established to track the top optometry graduates in residencies and in private practice. Extensive recruitment tools and personal contacts will be utilized to advertise the program broadly to attract the best applicants including women and minorities.

描述（由申请人提供）：印第安纳大学长期建立的视觉科学研究生和研究项目寻求五年的支持，让两名临床医生在机构临床科学家发展计划的指导方针内接受培训。该计划的具体目标是培训临床科学家和以患者为导向的临床研究人员，他们反过来将建立一个独立的视觉研究计划。该提案特别概述了两个项目，一个是视觉光学项目，另一个是角膜项目，旨在培训两名临床医生从事视觉研究职业。学员将被纳入正式的博士课程。印第安纳大学视觉科学学位课程。目前博士。学位总共需要 90 个学分，其中 30 个学分必须来自教学课程。为了让临床医生有更多时间专注于研究，该计划允许接受过临床培训的研究生使用临床计划中的 6 个学分来满足 30 个学分的教学要求。博南诺和蒂博斯教授是两位成就斐然的研究人员，在资助研究和研究生培训方面拥有长期的记录，他们将成为这两名选定学员的主要导师。每位导师都与视觉科学项目内部以及心理学、神经科学、化学、生物学、物理、数学、计算机科学、医学、眼科学、生理学和生物物理学等其他部门的许多基础和临床科学家建立了长期合作关系。印第安纳大学研究生院其他院系之间的无缝互动将得到充分利用，以增强所选临床医生的教育和研究经验。将建立一个通讯系统来跟踪住院医师和私人诊所的顶尖验光毕业生。将利用广泛的招聘工具和个人联系来广泛宣传该计划，以吸引包括女性和少数族裔在内的最佳申请人。
