DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application from the University of Michigan builds upon a long-standing tradition of training graduate students and postdoctoral fellows for careers in vision research. The centerpiece of our current training efforts is the Vision Research Training Program (VRTP), which is now entering its tenth year. This formal program of education and training (1) recruits and supports candidate-level predoctoral fellows as they complete their thesis research, (2) recruits and supports postdoctoral fellows as they begin independent research careers, (3) provides a comprehensive overview of vision research through the biennial course, Fundamental Issues in Vision Research (Ophthalmology 733), (4) hosts a formal seminar series, Vision Lunch (5) provides support for trainees to attend national scientific meetings and (6) directs trainees to events and programs at the University of Michigan focused on career development. The goals of the VRTP are to provide breadth in research training to keep pace with the opportunities for independent research in vision science. Members of the Training Faculty are experienced mentors, who are well-funded, productive scientists that utilize the eye and visual system as models for basic and translational studies. The PI/PD is Dr. Peter Hitchcock, Professor of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and Professor of Cell and Developmental Biology. The University of Michigan is committed to diversity and strives to create academic communities that are representative of the global society. The faculty, students and staff on our campus are from all cultural, ethnic, gender, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The University values the contributions of these diverse groups, not only as they impact our scientists and teachers in- training, but also for the real potential tat their work can improve the health and welfare of traditionally underrepresented and disadvantaged populations around the world. The VRTP participates fully in initiatives at the University of Michigan to promote diversity in the biomedical sciences workforce. The University of Michigan requires the highest level of research integrity from its faculty, staff and students. ll trainees participate in a multi-tiered program that teaches responsibility in the conduct and administration of research. This program addresses each of the five essential review criteria for training in the responsible conduct of research. As evidenced by the productivity and success of our trainees, the research training accomplishments of VRTP have been outstanding.

描述（由申请人提供）：密歇根大学的申请基于培训研究生和博士后研究员的长期传统，从事视觉研究的职业。我们目前的培训工作的核心是视觉研究培训计划（VRTP），该计划已进入第十个年。这项正式的教育和培训计划（1）招募并支持候选人级别的前研究员完成论文研究时，（2）新兵和支持博士后研究员在开始独立研究职业时（3），提供了一项全面的愿景研究概述。通过双年展课程，视觉研究的基本问题（眼科733），（4）主持正式的研讨会系列，视觉午餐（5）为受训者提供了参加国家科学会议的支持，（6）（6）指导受训者参加活动和计划密歇根大学专注于职业发展。 VRTP的目标是在研究培训中提供广度，以跟上视力科学独立研究的机会。培训学院的成员是经验丰富的导师，他们是资金丰富，有效的科学家，他们利用眼睛和视觉系统作为基础和转化研究的模型。 PI/PD是眼科和视觉科学教授Peter Hitchcock博士，细胞和发育生物学教授。密歇根大学致力于多样性，并努力建立代表全球社会的学术社区。我们校园的教职员工和教职员工来自所有文化，种族，性别和社会经济背景。大学重视这些不同群体的贡献，不仅因为它们影响了我们的科学家和教师接受培训，而且为了真正的潜在潜力，他们的工作可以改善传统上代表不足的人口和弱势群体的健康和福利。 VRTP全面参加了密歇根大学的倡议，以促进生物医学劳动力的多样性。密歇根大学要求其教职员工和学生的最高研究完整性。 LL学员参加了一项多层计划，该计划教授研究和管理研究的责任。该计划涉及五个基本审查标准，用于培训负责任的研究。正如我们的学员的生产力和成功所证明的那样，VRTP的研究培训成就非常出色。
