Twenty-eight faculty of the Center for Visual Science (CVS) at the University of Rochester request renewal of support for a pre-doctoral and postdoctoral training program that emphasizes four broadly defined areas of vision research: (1) Advanced optical technology for vision correction and retinal imaging, (2), cell biology of the normal and diseased eye, (3) neural mechanisms of vision and (4) vision in behavior. Training faculty have extensive cross-campus and cross-department collaborations, a strong record of mentoring and high research funding levels. Training is interdisciplinary, drawing particularly on the unique technical and intellectual resources of CVS. It covers a broad range of basic and clinical problems in vision but emphasizes approaches that link visual performance to underlying biological mechanisms. The program has a strong record of trainee productivity, PhD student retention and fast average time to PhD. Similarly, postdoctoral trainees overwhelmingly pursue scientific careers, with significant numbers entering tenure-track positions in academia. Trainees have a good record of subsequent individual training and research funding, as well as successful research and research-related career paths. The program also has a good record of recruiting, training and career placement for trainees from under-represented minority groups. For our renewal application, we request support for 5 pre-doctoral trainees per year, who will generally enter the program through the Departments of Brain and Cognitive Science, Biomedical Engineering, the Neuroscience Graduate Program and the Institute of Optics. Students will take core courses plus advanced seminars in visual science, augmented by courses from the departments through which they entered the program. Concurrently with course work, students complete research projects in CVS preceptor labs. Finally, we also request support for two postdoctoral fellows per year. Postdoctoral training has a heavy emphasis on research performance, productivity and communication. All trainees take part in topical workshops, special topics seminars, regular colloquia, research talk series, the CVS retreat, and the biannual CVS Symposium.

罗切斯特大学要求视觉科学中心（CVS）的二十八位教职员工 更新对博士后和博士后培训计划的支持，该计划强调四个 视力研究的定义领域：（1）视力校正和视网膜的高级光学技术 成像，（2），正常和患病的眼睛的细胞生物学，（3）视觉的神经机制和（4）视觉 行为。 培训学院有广泛的跨校园和跨部门合作，有很强的记录 指导和高研究资金水平。培训是跨学科的，特别是 简历的独特技术和智力资源。它涵盖了广泛的基本和临床 视觉问题，但强调将视觉性能与潜在生物学联系起来的方法 机制。 该计划具有学员生产力，博士生保留和快速平均时间的良好记录 致博士学位。同样，博士后学员压倒性地从事科学职业，并具有重要的 在学术界进入终身任期职位的数字。学员有良好的记录 个人培训和研究资金，以及成功的研究和与研究有关的职业 路径。该计划还拥有良好的招聘，培训和职业安排记录 来自代表性不足的少数群体。 对于我们的续签申请，我们要求每年为5名博士前学员提供支持，他们一般会 通过大脑和认知科学部门，生物医学工程， 神经科学研究生课程和光学研究所。学生将参加核心课程加上 视觉科学领域的高级研讨会，由部门的课程增强 输入程序。同时与课程工作一起完成了简历中的研究项目 主教实验室。 最后，我们还要求支持每年两个博士后研究员。博士后培训有重度 强调研究绩效，生产力和沟通。所有受训者都参与主题 讲习班，特殊主题研讨会，常规校长，研究谈话系列，CVS静修和 双年度CVS研讨会。
