Stanford Vision Training Program

项目总结 该计划将续订NEI T32斯坦福视力培训计划。基于博士后的卓越表现 在我们视觉科学教师的培训中，我们的目标是提供针对视觉的研究培训计划 为有才华的实习生提供综合临床经验，旨在成为视觉科学家和 临床医生-科学家。具体地说，我们为每个预算年度的4个博士后研究员职位寻求培训支持 接下来的五年。斯坦福大学视力培训计划的38名初级视力研究教员包括 所有学术级别的21名博士、4名博士和13名博士/博士，在不同领域具有优势，包括 分子和细胞视觉生物学、视觉编码和电路、体内发育和遗传学 成像、高级视觉行为和感知、疾病的机制和不同的方法 对于疾病的治疗。总而言之，VISION核心教职员工目前由140名助学金资助，总额超过 每年3600万美元，其中38笔来自NEI，60笔来自NIH(包括NEI)，其余的是 来自国防部、国家科学基金会和各种基金会。这些是 有强有力的机构支持和承诺的补充。继我们第一个节目的成功之后 周期，加强斯坦福愿景培训方案下一周期的发展包括 利用斯坦福大学眼科高级研究实习计划并加强我们的执行力 委员会、外部咨询委员会和学员指导委员会。将继续努力实现以下目标 斯坦福大学招聘了一批高技能的视觉研究教师；无与伦比的机构 部门和斯坦福大学医学院承诺的资源；正式的 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；以及 每半年一次和一年一次的视觉研究座谈会。以及始终如一的大型、高效和多样化的 申请者池，这些将使斯坦福视力培训计划培养出未来的眼科和 能够解决最有趣和最重要的问题并开辟新视野的视觉研究人员 在斯坦福和更远的地方。

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.
