 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Support is requested for six optometry students to participate in a three-month research training program at The Ohio State University College of Optometry. The goal of the training program is to encourage professional students to embark on a career in eye research. Students in the program primarily learn about vision research in their mentors' laboratories, but they also participate in a journal club, attend vision science seminars, and discuss topics in an informal luncheon setting that range from enrolling in the graduate program to research ethics. The training will be conducted in the laboratories of 24 established eye and vision researchers (six per year), primarily members of the College of Optometry but with representation from the Neuroscience, Psychology, 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. Students will gain research experience and knowledge in order to stimulate knowledge of and interest in vision research. To that end, of the 116 College of Optometry graduates who previously participated in the T35 program, 59 (51%) received Master's degrees, three received PhD degrees, five (4%) are currently enrolled in PhD programs, and four received K08 or K23 awards from the National Eye Institute. These students have also been co-authors on 195 scientific abstracts and 54 peer-reviewed publications. Continued support of the OSU College of Optometry T35 program will therefore contribute to the scientific literature and engage future independent clinician scientists who perform independent research on vision- related topics.

 描述（由申请人提供）：请求支持六名验光学生参加俄亥俄州立大学验光学院为期三个月的研究培训计划。该培训计划的目标是鼓励专业学生从事眼科研究职业。该项目的学生主要在导师的实验室学习视觉研究，但他们也参加期刊俱乐部，参加视觉科学研讨会， 并在非正式午餐会上讨论从研究生课程报名到研究伦理等各种话题。 培训将在 24 名知名眼科和视觉研究人员（每年 6 名）的实验室中进行，这些研究人员主要是验光学院的成员，但也有来自神经科学、心理学、生物医学工程和眼科的代表。导师的具体研究领域包括但不限于屈光不正、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。学生将获得研究经验和知识，以激发对视觉研究的了解和兴趣。为此，在之前参加过 T35 项目的 116 名视光学院毕业生中，59 名（51%）获得了硕士学位，3 名获得了博士学位，5 名（4%）目前正在攻读博士学位，4 名获得了国家眼科研究所的 K08 或 K23 奖项。这些学生还共同撰写了 195 篇科学摘要和 54 篇同行评审出版物。 因此，俄勒冈州立大学视光学院 T35 项目的持续支持将为科学文献做出贡献，并吸引未来对视力相关主题进行独立研究的独立临床科学家。
