T35 Program Plan Enhancement of Optometric Education with Basic, Applied and Clinical Research Abstract The T35 Training Grant titled, Enhancement of Optometric Education with Basic, Applied and Clinical Research, seeks to afford qualified Optometry Interns the opportunity to pair with experienced research faculty to conduct basic, applied, clinical and translational research at the University of the Incarnate Word Rosenberg School of Optometry (UIWRSO). Objectives include (a) Faculty-Intern research committed to early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of ocular disease as well as basic and applied research which enhance our understanding of visual function leading to improvement of vision in normal and abnormal populations (b) inspire Interns to pursue postdoctoral research and academic activities and positions paving a course toward academic and research careers (c) foster collaboration with other UIW programs (Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Physical Therapy, Nursing, Math, Science and Engineering and Biomedical Sciences) as well as institutions and industry sharing common goals. The rationale for our proposal is predicated on our success with our Summer Fellowship Training Program (SFTP), active since 2011, allowing Interns to participate in faculty supervised research during the summer between first and second professional years. The SFTP has been highly successful yielding 17 peer-reviewed papers and 60 peer-reviewed poster and paper presentations at major meetings comparable to or exceeding major schools and colleges of optometry funded with T35 grants. While the SFTP is largely internally funded, previously supplemented by industry and a grant to increase diversity in optometric education, it closely mirrors current T35 programs, and we hope to continue our success. We propose that a T35 grant support four Interns per year for 8-week summer periods for a duration of five years.

T35项目计划 通过基础、应用和临床研究加强视光教育 抽象的 T35 培训补助金题为“加强基础、应用和视光学教育” 临床研究，寻求为合格的验光实习生提供与 经验丰富的研究人员在该中心进行基础、应用、临床和转化研究 化身世界大学罗森伯格验光学院 (UIWRSO)。目标 包括 (a) 致力于早期发现、诊断和治疗的教职实习生研究 眼科疾病以及基础和应用研究，增强我们对视觉的理解 导致正常和异常人群视力改善的功能 (b) 激发 实习生从事博士后研究、学术活动和职位，为课程铺平道路 走向学术和研究职业 (c) 促进与其他 UIW 项目的合作（学校 医学、药学、物理治疗、护理、数学、科学与工程和 生物医学科学）以及具有共同目标的机构和行业。理由 因为我们的提案是基于我们的夏季奖学金培训计划的成功 (SFTP)，自 2011 年起活跃，允许实习生在期间参与教师监督的研究 第一年和第二年职业之间的夏季。 SFTP 非常成功 在重大会议上发表了 17 篇同行评审论文和 60 篇经过同行评审的海报和论文演示 相当于或超过T35资助的各大眼视光院校的会议 补助金。虽然 SFTP 主要由内部资助，之前由工业界和其他机构提供补充 拨款以增加验光教育的多样性，它密切反映了当前的 T35 计划，并且 我们希望继续取得成功。我们建议每年提供 T35 补助金支持四名实习生 为期五年的为期 8 周的夏季课程。
