项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for five years of Summer Research Training Fellowships at The New England College of Optometry for ten students selected from OD programs here and at other Colleges of Optometry. The goal of this training is to help students gain a strong sense of research: how evidence is gained from laboratory activities and from clinical observations; how data are analyzed; how theories are advanced, tested, and accepted or rejected; and how new research findings are translated into clinical practice. Trainees should gain a greater understanding of their field and an ability to judge the quality of research based reports. A goal of the program is for some trainees to decide to pursue research careers on the basis of their experiences. Applications for the fellowships are solicited by local publicity as well as information sent to the various Colleges of Optometry. Trainees are selected on the basis of strong academic records and recommendations. Based on past performance, the level of experience of the trainees is likely to range from some exposure to research as an undergraduate to extensive laboratory experience. Each trainee is assigned to the laboratory/project of a mentor on the basis of common interests. The mentor guides the trainee in all aspects of research and is her/his primary advocate and evaluator. The mentors are all experienced investigators with ongoing research funded either by the National Eye Institute or other sources. Their research areas include anatomy, pathophysiology, biochemistry, psychophysics, retinal imaging, epidemiology, and clinical research. Myopia is a central theme and is pursued with both animal models and human studies. The program will continue for a 10-week period each summer. A research seminar attended by all trainees will be held each week. This seminar will acquaint the trainees with the ongoing research within the College and include lectures on the ethics of research; constraints and considerations on the use of human and animal subjects; and research design and statistical analysis. Outside speakers will present their latest research on topics such as ocular aberrations and eye movements. At the end of the ten-week program, all trainees will present their work to the group and submit a written report.

描述（由申请人提供）：支持要求五年的夏季研究培训奖学金在视光学的新英格兰学院从OD计划在这里和其他视光学学院选择十名学生。该培训的目标是帮助学生获得强烈的研究意识：如何从实验室活动和临床观察中获得证据;如何分析数据;如何推进，测试和接受或拒绝理论;以及如何将新的研究成果转化为临床实践。受训者应更好地了解他们的领域，并有能力判断研究报告的质量。该计划的一个目标是让一些学员根据自己的经验决定从事研究工作。奖学金的申请是通过当地的宣传以及发送到各个验光学院的信息来征求的。受训人员是根据良好的学习成绩和推荐挑选的。根据过去的表现，受训人员的经验水平可能从本科时的一些研究经验到广泛的实验室经验不等。根据共同的兴趣，每个受训者被分配到导师的实验室/项目。导师在研究的各个方面指导受训者，是她/他的主要倡导者和评估者。导师都是经验丰富的调查人员，正在进行的研究由国家眼科研究所或其他来源资助。他们的研究领域包括解剖学，病理生理学，生物化学，心理物理学，视网膜成像，流行病学和临床研究。近视是一个中心主题，并与动物模型和人类研究。该计划将在每年夏天持续10周。每周将举行一次由所有受训人员参加的研究研讨会。该研讨会将使学员熟悉学院内正在进行的研究，并包括关于研究伦理的讲座;使用人类和动物主题的限制和考虑;以及研究设计和统计分析。外部演讲者将介绍他们对眼像差和眼球运动等主题的最新研究。在为期十周的课程结束时，所有学员将向小组介绍他们的工作，并提交书面报告。
