Abstract Support is requested for an increase from six to eight funded positions in the three-month research training program (T35) at The Ohio State University College of Optometry. During this grant cycle (four T35 cohorts thus far), we averaged 2.6 applications per year per funded position, the average undergraduate and optometry grade point averages of the applicants was 3.6 and the average undergraduate and optometry grade point averages of the participants was 3.7, our faculty paid for four additional students from their own funds to participate in the T35 program, and we denied 13 students with a 3.7 or higher optometry grade point average and five students with a 4.0 optometry grade point average. Furthermore, since the first year of T35 funding in 1998, T35 students have co-authored 215 scientific abstracts and 59 peer-reviewed publications, all 150 funded positions have been filled, we self-funded 14 additional positions (including 12 since 2014), 82/142 (58%) who graduated with an optometry degree also graduated with Master's degrees, 5/142 (4%) received PhD degrees, and 4/142 (3%) are currently in PhD programs. The quality and quantity of the students are very high, and the faculty are very supportive of the T35 program. We routinely support more students than are funded, so we request an increase from six to eight T35 students funded per year. The goal of the training program is to encourage professional students to enroll in the Combined OD/MS program during which optometry students earn both an OD and a Master's degree in four years and to embark on a career in eye research. Despite the fact that most students entering the T35 program want to pursue clinical careers, this program has been excellent at motivating students to earn Master's and/or PhD degrees through participation in vision research in mentors' laboratories, a journal club, vision science seminars, research ethics training, and informal discussions ranging from enrolling in the graduate program to reference managers. The training is conducted primarily in the laboratories of 24 established eye and vision researchers (six per year) who are primarily members of the College of Optometry but with representation from the Neuroscience, Biomedical Engineering, and Ophthalmology. The mentors' specific areas of research include, but are certainly not limited to refractive error, ocular embryonic development, color perception, pediatrics, cataractogenesis, vision rehabilitation, retinal detachments, adaptive optics, and corneoscleral biomechanics. Increased support of the OSU College of Optometry T35 program will contribute to the scientific literature and engage future independent clinician scientists who perform vision research.

抽象的 在为期三个月的研究培训中，要求支持从六个资助职位增加到八个资金 俄亥俄州立大学验光学院的计划（T35）。在此赠款周期中（四个T35队列 到目前为止），我们平均每个资助职位，平均本科生和 申请人的验光级平均值为3.6，平均本科生和验光指标 参与者的年级平均值为3.7，我们的教职员工付给了四个额外的学生 参加T35计划的资金，我们否认了13名具有3.7或更高验光级的学生 平均和五名学生平均验光级为4.0。此外，自T35的第一年以来 1998年的资助，T35学生合着了215个科学摘要和59个同行评审的出版物 已经填补了150个资助职位，我们自筹资金14个职位（包括2014年以来的12个），82/142 （58％）以验光学位毕业的人也以硕士学位为单位，接受了5/142（4％） 博士学位学位和4/142（3％）目前都在博士学位课程中。学生的质量和数量非常 高位，教师非常支持T35计划。我们经常为学生提供更多的支持 资助，因此我们要求从每年资助的六名T35学生增加到八个。 培训计划的目的是鼓励专业学生参加OD/MS的合并 验光学生在四年内获得OD和硕士学位的课程 从事眼睛研究的职业。尽管大多数进入T35计划的学生都想追求 临床职业，该计划非常擅长激励学生获得硕士和/或博士学位 通过参与导师实验室的视觉研究，期刊俱乐部，视觉科学研讨会， 研究道德培训以及非正式讨论，从参加研究生课程到参考 经理。 该培训主要是在24个既定的眼睛和视力研究人员的实验室进行的 一年）主要是验光学院的成员，但由神经科学的代表 生物医学工程和眼科。导师的特定研究领域包括，但肯定是 不限于折射率，眼部胚胎发育，颜色感知，儿科，白内垂直生成， 视力康复，视网膜脱离，自适应光学和角膜策略生物力学。增加支持 OSU验光学院T35计划将有助于科学文献并吸引未来 执行视觉研究的独立临床医生。
