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.

摘要 请求提供支助，以便将为期三个月的研究培训的经费职位从6个增加到8个 项目(T35)在俄亥俄州立大学验光学院。在这个赠款周期内(四个T35队列 到目前为止)，我们平均每个资助职位每年有2.6份申请，平均本科生和 申请者的验光学分平均为3.6分，本科和验光专业的平均成绩为 参与者的平均绩点是3.7，我们的教职员工从他们自己的学生中额外支付了4名学生 参加T35项目的资金，我们拒绝了13名验光成绩点在3.7或更高的学生 平均成绩和五名学生的平均验光成绩为4.0。此外，从T35的第一年开始 资助于1998年，T35学生与他人合著了215篇科学摘要和59篇同行评议的出版物，全部 150个出资职位已经填补，我们自筹资金增加了14个职位(包括2014年以来的12个)，82/142 (58%)有验光学位的人也有硕士毕业，5/142(4%)人获得 博士学位，142人中有4人(3%)正在攻读博士学位。学生的质量和数量都很高。 HIGH，教职员工非常支持T35项目。我们通常资助的学生比实际人数多 因此，我们要求将每年资助的T35学生从6人增加到8人。 培训计划的目标是鼓励专业学生报名参加OD/MS联合课程 视光专业学生在四年内同时获得OD和硕士学位并开始 从事眼科研究的职业。尽管大多数进入T35项目的学生都想继续 临床职业，这个项目在激励学生获得硕士和/或博士学位方面一直表现出色 通过参与导师实验室的视觉研究，杂志俱乐部，视觉科学研讨会， 研究道德培训和非正式讨论，范围从进入研究生课程到参考 经理们。 培训主要在24名老牌眼科和视力研究人员的实验室进行(6% 年)，他们主要是验光学院的成员，但有神经科学的代表， 生物医学工程和眼科。导师的具体研究领域包括，但肯定是 不限于屈光不正、眼胚胎发育、色觉、儿科、白内障发生、 视力康复、视网膜脱离、自适应光学和角巩膜生物力学。更多支持 俄亥俄州立大学验光学院的T35项目将为科学文献做出贡献，并参与未来 从事视力研究的独立临床医生科学家。
