DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an institutional training grant proposal to educate the next generation of clinician-scientists for academic positions in Ophthalmology. For over 38 years, the Duke University Eye Center (DUEC) has been a national leader in training academic Ophthalmologists. The earliest generations of these trainees now serve in numerous leadership positions in academic medical centers across the country and abroad. They have roles as Deans, Department Chairs, and faculty members and serve as mentors for academicians. We propose to continue this tradition through an intensive program designed to provide the guidance, resources, and didactic teaching necessary to produce clinician-scientists for academic positions in Ophthalmology. We plan to select two trainees each year after their completion of a residency in Ophthalmology or Pathology for an intense 3 year educational program that will lead to independent peer-reviewed grant funding and a faculty position in an academic institution. The trainees will undergo an intensive didactic curriculum combined with a close mentorship by senior faculty at Duke University. Each trainee will receive mandatory training in areas of clinical research, genetics, statistics, scientific writing, grant preparation, ethics, and the responsible conduct of research. Each trainee will participate in significant original research and learn the essential skills to develop a successful and independent academic career. Additional aspects of the curriculum of each trainee will be tailored by the program director and lead mentor based upon the selected primary research track and his/her skills, background and career goals. We propose five primary research tracks: 1) Ophthalmic Genomics and Proteomics, 2) Ophthalmic Pathology, 3) Translational Medicine and Clinical Trials, 4) Clinic to Bench, 5) Outcomes and Health Policy. Because of an international shortage of Ophthalmic Pathologists involved in research, we will attempt to recruit Pathologists and train them for a research career to further knowledge about ocular diseases using tissue derived from patients and experimental models.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是一项机构培训赠款提案，旨在教育下一代临床医生在眼科中的学术职位。在超过38年的时间里，杜克大学眼中中心（DUEC）一直是培训学术眼科医生的国家领导者。这些受训者的最早几代人现在在全国和国外的学术医疗中心担任许多领导职务。他们担任院长，部门主席和教职员工的角色，并担任院士的导师。我们建议通过一个密集的计划来继续这一传统，旨在提供所必需的指导，资源和教学教学，以创造临床医生科学家在眼科中的学术职位。我们计划在一项激烈的3年教育计划中完成眼科或病理学居住后，每年选择两名学员，这将导致独立的同行评审赠款资金和学术机构的教职员工职位。学员将接受一项密集的教学课程，并由杜克大学高级教师的密切指导。每个学员将在临床研究，遗传学，统计，科学写作，授予准备，道德规范和负责任的研究领域接受强制性培训。每个学员将参与重要的原始研究，并学习发展成功和独立的学术职业的基本技能。每个学员的课程的其他方面将由计划主任和首席导师根据所选的主要研究轨道以及他/她的技能，背景和职业目标量身定制。我们提出了五个主要的研究轨道：1）眼科基因组学和蛋白质组学，2）眼科病理学，3）转化医学和临床试验，4）诊所至替补席，5）结果和健康政策。由于国际缺乏研究参与研究的眼科病理学家的短缺，我们将尝试招募病理学家并训练他们从事研究职业，以进一步了解使用来自患者和实验模型的组织。
