 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of the T32 "Translational Vision Research Training at UCSD" program is to train postdoctoral fellows to be become outstanding translational vision research scientists. The program builds on the exceptional training record of faculty from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine (ranked in the top 96th percentile for NIH Training grants) in general, and the Shiley Eye Institute in particular who have mentored scientists to translate basic science results into improved clinical care. Moreover, UCSD is highly collaborative with strong programmatic support for the translation of research from bench to bedside in areas such as genetics/proteomics, clinical research, bioengineering, ophthalmic imaging and image analysis, drug delivery, and biomedical informatics. The short-term objectives of the T32 Training Grant program are to provide 3 postdoctoral fellows with up to 2 years of training and instruction by mentors who direct NIH-funded laboratories. The program will provide a coordinated framework for the recruitment and training of postdoctoral fellows in two trainings tracks that focus on two of the Shiley Eye Institute faculty's core strengths, (1) clinical/human subjects research and (2) genomics/proteomics. Each Training Track has an integrated mentor group, with an outstanding track record in training full-time postdoctoral scientists, and National Eye Institute support for their research. Twenty faculty mentors representing 8 UCSD departments will participate in the program. The program includes faculty members from the Institute of Genomic Medicine, Public Health Institute and benefits from resources provided by the Clinical Translational Research Institute, Vision Research Center core grant, the UCSD Supercomputer Center. The multi-disciplinary research training experience includes didactic instruction appropriate to the area being studied, research experience with a lead mentor as well as professional development seminars, lectures and journal clubs in various disciplines. Instruction in research ethics and leadership, laboratory management, and grant writing will be required. To oversee the training program, solicit and review applications, and monitor/facilitate progress through each postdoctoral fellow's Individual Development Plan (IDP), the administrative structure of the training program includes a Program Director, Linda Zangwill, PhD, co-Director, Radha Ayyagari, PhD and an Executive Committee. In addition, an External Advisory Committee will provide independent evaluation of the training program. Every postdoctoral fellow in the T32 Translational Vision Research Training Program at UCSD will be expected to exit well prepared for a vision research career in academia or industry.

 描述（由申请人提供）：T32“UCSD翻译视觉研究培训”计划的总体目标是培养博士后研究员成为杰出的翻译视觉研究科学家。该计划建立在加州圣地亚哥大学医学院（在NIH培训赠款中排名前96百分位）教师的特殊培训记录的基础上，特别是Shiley眼科研究所， 指导科学家将基础科学成果转化为更好的临床护理。此外，UCSD高度合作，为遗传学/蛋白质组学，临床研究，生物工程，眼科成像和图像分析，药物输送和生物医学信息学等领域的研究从实验室到床边的翻译提供强有力的计划支持。 T32培训补助金计划的短期目标是为3名博士后研究员提供长达2年的培训和指导，指导NIH资助的实验室。该计划将为博士后研究员的招聘和培训提供一个协调的框架，这两个培训轨道侧重于希利眼科研究所教师的两个核心优势，（1）临床/人类受试者研究和（2）基因组学/蛋白质组学。每个培训轨道都有一个综合的导师组，在培训全职博士后科学家方面有着出色的记录，国家眼科研究所对他们的研究提供支持。代表8个UCSD部门的20名教师导师将参加该计划。该计划包括来自基因组医学研究所，公共卫生研究所的教职员工，并受益于临床转化研究所，视觉研究中心核心资助，UCSD超级计算机中心提供的资源。多学科研究培训经验包括适合所研究领域的教学指导，与主要导师的研究经验以及各学科的专业发展研讨会，讲座和期刊俱乐部。在研究伦理和领导，实验室管理，并授予写作指令将是必需的。为了监督培训计划，征求和审查申请，并通过每个博士后研究员的个人发展计划（IDP）监测/促进进展，培训计划的行政结构包括一个项目主任，琳达Zangwill，博士，共同主任，拉达Ayyagari，博士和执行委员会。此外，一个外部咨询委员会将对培训方案进行独立评估。在UCSD的T32翻译视觉研究培训计划的每一个博士后研究员将有望退出在学术界或工业界的视觉研究生涯做好准备。
