PROJECT SUMMARY / ABSTRACT Encouraging the next generation of ophthalmology physician-scientists is a pressing need for the field. To that end, the Indiana University School of Medicine Department of Ophthalmology proposes a T35 short-term summer research program for medical students interested in ophthalmology research. The rationale for this program is that early exposure to research is likely to engender ongoing interest in a research career, and that early exposure to concepts in ophthalmology beyond the standard medical school curriculum will attract more students to research in the specialty. Thus, the objectives of this program are to provide a research experience that (1) introduces trainees to the diversity of research in ophthalmology, including experimental design, methods, critical evaluation of the literature, and results presentation; (2) instills in trainees an interest in ophthalmology through didactic lectures, workshops, and hands-on clinical training and shadowing; and (3) offers trainees training in responsible conduct of research. To meet these objectives, the program will offer a 12-week research experience for medical students after completion of their first year. Students interested in ophthalmology will be actively recruited from the school, as will students from underrepresented populations, especially those entering the Indiana University School of Medicine from one of Indiana University’s multiple pipeline programs. Program slots are requested for 6 students, who will be paired with mentors selected from a pool of 17 participating faculty. Faculty research interests span basic, translational, and clinical research in major areas of ophthalmology, with particular strengths in retina, glaucoma, and pediatric ophthalmology. Trainees will spend the majority of their time working on mentored research projects with their mentors, but will also engage in other enrichment activities, including responsible conduct of research lectures and workshops. Innovative aspects of the enrichment activities include (1) integration with the Indiana University Medical Student Program for Research and Scholarship (IMPRS), a School-wide summer research program, exposing trainees to scientific and research career-oriented seminars from diverse faculty; (2) a one-day “boot camp” teaching trainees key basic concepts in vision science and clinical ophthalmology; and (3) interprofessional education opportunities provided by videoconference participation in a class on “Critical Evaluation of Vision Science Literature” offered by the Indiana University School of Optometry to their summer OD student researchers. The Department and School have a deep commitment to this new T35 program, which will leverage the highly successful infrastructure of IMPRS while providing unique, and currently lacking, ophthalmology-specific content and trainee slots. The long-term goal of the program is to increase the pool of ophthalmology physician-scientists in Indiana and nationally by generating excitement about vision science research through an integrated, dynamic summer research opportunity in the field.

项目总结/摘要 鼓励下一代眼科医生科学家是该领域的迫切需要。到 为此，印第安纳州大学医学院眼科提出了T35短期 针对对眼科研究感兴趣的医学生的夏季研究计划。这样做的理由 早期接触研究可能会产生对研究生涯的持续兴趣， 早期接触标准医学院课程之外的眼科概念将吸引更多的人， 学生在专业研究。因此，该计划的目标是提供研究经验 （1）向学员介绍眼科研究的多样性，包括实验设计， 方法，文献的批判性评价和结果介绍;（2）灌输学员对以下方面的兴趣： 通过教学讲座，研讨会和实践临床培训和跟踪眼科;和（3） 为学员提供负责任的研究行为培训。为了实现这些目标，该计划将提供一个 12-一周的研究经验，为医学生完成他们的第一年。学生有兴趣 眼科将积极从学校招募，来自代表性不足的人口的学生也将如此， 特别是那些从印第安纳州大学多个医学院之一进入印第安纳州大学医学院的学生， 管道程序。课程名额为6名学生，他们将与从一个 共有17名教师参加。教师的研究兴趣涵盖基础，转化和临床研究， 眼科学的主要领域，在视网膜，青光眼和儿科眼科学方面具有特殊优势。 学员将花费大部分时间与导师一起从事指导研究项目，但 还参加其他充实活动，包括负责任地举办研究讲座和讲习班。 丰富活动的创新方面包括：（1）与印第安纳州大学医学中心整合， 学生研究和奖学金计划（IMPRS），全校范围内的夏季研究计划，暴露 参加来自不同学院的面向科研职业的研讨会的学员;（2）为期一天的“靴子训练营” 教授学员视觉科学及临床眼科学的主要基本概念;及（3）跨专业 通过视频会议参与“视力批判性评估”课程提供的教育机会 科学文献”提供的印第安纳州大学视光学学院，以他们的夏季OD学生 研究人员该部门和学校有一个深刻的承诺，这个新的T35计划，这将 利用IMPRS非常成功的基础设施，同时提供独特的，目前缺乏的， 眼科专业内容和实习生名额。该计划的长期目标是增加 印第安纳州和全国的眼科医生-科学家通过产生对视觉科学的兴奋 通过在该领域的综合，动态的夏季研究机会的研究。
