Stanford Vision Training Program

项目摘要 该计划将更新NEI T32斯坦福大学视力训练计划。以优秀博士后为基础 在我们的视觉科学教师的培训，我们的目标是提供一个视觉特定的研究培训计划 为有才华的学员提供综合临床经验，目标是成为视觉科学家， 临床科学家具体来说，我们寻求每个预算年度4个博士后研究员名额的培训支持， 未来五年斯坦福大学视力训练项目的38名主要视力研究教师包括 21名博士、4名医学博士和13名医学博士/博士，所有学术级别，在不同领域拥有优势，包括 分子和细胞视觉生物学，视觉编码和电路，发育和遗传学，体内 成像，高阶视觉行为和感知，疾病机制和不同方法 疾病的治疗。总的来说，核心愿景教师目前由140笔赠款资助，总额超过 每年3600万美元，其中38赠款来自NEI，60赠款来自NIH（包括NEI），其余来自 来自国防部、国家科学基金会和各种基金会。这些是 提供强有力的机构支持和承诺。继我们第一个项目的成功之后 周期，发展，以加强下一个周期的斯坦福大学视力训练计划包括 利用斯坦福大学眼科高级研究住院医师计划， 委员会、外部咨询委员会和学员指导委员会。将继续努力， 为斯坦福大学招募了一批高技能的视觉研究教师;无与伦比的机构 由该部门和斯坦福大学医学院承诺的资源;正式 在精心制定的培训计划的主持下进行课堂、临床和实验室培训; 半月和年度视觉研究研讨会。加上一贯庞大、多产和多样化的 申请人池，这些将使斯坦福大学视力训练计划，以培养未来的领导者在眼睛和 视觉研究谁能够解决最有趣和最重要的问题，并开辟新的视野 在斯坦福大学和其他地方。

PROJECT SUMMARY This program will renew the NEI T32 Stanford Vision Training Program. Based on excellence in postdoctoral training among our vision science faculty, our goal is to provide a vision-specific research training program with integrated clinical experience to the talented trainees aiming for careers as vision scientists and clinician-scientists. Specifically, we seek training support for 4 postdoctoral fellow slots per budget year for the next five years. The 38 primary vision research faculty in the Stanford Vision Training Program includes 21 PhDs, 4 MDs, and 13 MD/PhDs of all academic ranks, with strengths in diverse areas, including molecular and cellular vision biology, vision encoding and circuitry, development and genetics, in vivo imaging, higher order visual behavior and perception, mechanisms of diseases, and different approaches to the treatment of diseases. Together, the core vision faculty is currently funded by 140 grants totaling over $36M annually, of which 38 grants are from the NEI, 60 grants are from the NIH (including NEI), and the rest are from the Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, and various foundations. These are supplements with strong institutional support and commitment. Following the success from our first program cycle, developments to strengthen the next cycle of the Stanford Vision Training Program include leveraging the Stanford Ophthalmology Advanced Research Residency Program and enhancing our Executive Committee, External Advisory Committee, and Trainee Mentoring Committees. Efforts will continue towards the recruitment of a highly skilled cohort of vision research faculty to Stanford; unparalleled institutional resources committed by the department and by the Stanford University School of Medicine; formal classroom, clinical and laboratory training under the auspices of carefully crafted training plans; and ongoing semi-monthly and annual vision research symposia. Together with a consistently large, productive and diverse applicant pool, these will allow the Stanford Vision Training Program to produce future leaders in eye and vision research who are able to tackle the most interesting and important questions and open new horizons at Stanford and beyond.
