DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Twenty-one neuroscientists within Harvard's Neuroscience Program request continued funding for six pre-doctoral positions within our. Training focuses on the study of visual pathways from retina to brain, and cellular, molecular and developmental neurobiology of the visual system. The faculty are distributed throughout the university. Eleven faculty members are in basic science departments at the Medical School, six are in hospital based laboratories, and four are in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Over the past 15 years, Harvard University has greatly expanded the number faculty members who study the molecular, developmental, and neural-systems approaches to visual science. Students can choose laboratories among a large community of vision researchers, most of whom are affiliated with the NEI Core Grant in Vision research. The new goal of the Visual Neuroscience Training Program is to build a larger, coherent group of students who have a sense of community based in this Harvard-wide vision community, and who are trained by its faculty. The grant will support three students each in their second and third years, after they have chosen a dissertation lab, but advanced students remain actively involved with the program. This creates a large cohort of affiliated students. We train and supervise these students with courses, thesis committees, seminars, symposia, a Training Grant retreat, and our "Systems-Vision" journal club. Thus throughout their graduate careers, trainees interact with the faculty and with each other. Many vision scientists visit Harvard every year to give seminars; trainees at all levels interact with them over lunch and in lab visits. Through these activities, we will help train a new generation of vision scientists whose scientific careers will help us understand all aspects of the visual system: development, information processing, and disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：21神经科学家在哈佛的神经科学计划要求继续资助六个博士前职位在我们的。培训重点是研究从视网膜到大脑的视觉通路，以及视觉系统的细胞，分子和发育神经生物学。教师分布在整个大学。11名教师在医学院的基础科学部门，6名在医院实验室，4名在艺术和科学学院。 在过去的15年里，哈佛大学大大增加了研究视觉科学的分子、发育和神经系统方法的教师人数。学生可以在一个庞大的视觉研究人员社区中选择实验室，其中大多数人都隶属于NEI视觉研究核心资助。视觉神经科学培训计划的新目标是建立一个更大的，连贯的学生群体，他们在这个哈佛大学范围内的视觉社区中有社区意识，并由其教师进行培训。 该补助金将支持三名学生在他们的第二和第三年，他们已经选择了论文实验室后，但先进的学生仍然积极参与该计划。这就产生了一大批附属学生。我们通过课程、论文委员会、研讨会、专题讨论会、培训补助金静修和我们的“系统视觉”期刊俱乐部来培训和监督这些学生。 因此，在他们的研究生生涯中，学员与教师和彼此互动。许多视觉科学家每年都会来哈佛参加研讨会;各个级别的学员都会在午餐和实验室参观时与他们互动。通过这些活动，我们将帮助培养新一代的视觉科学家，他们的科学生涯将帮助我们了解视觉系统的各个方面：发育，信息处理和疾病。
