Project Summary/Abstract In its renewal application resubmission, the Wilmer K12 Program seeks to continue its successful recruitment and development of new investigators in highly relevant areas of clinical and laboratory vision research. Our past track record indicates success in mentored training of young scientists who enter full-time academic research careers and compete effectively for individual and collaborative grant support. Due to our reputation for clinician—scientist training and the diversity of major research areas in vision science that are available to scholars, we have every year attracted multiple highly attractive candidates for the Wilmer K12 program. Our structured program still leaves considerable flexibility to take advantage of multiple—mentor groups for training in a combination of didactic and practical activities. The existence of a Departmental executive committee for ongoing oversight of every K awardee (K12, K08 and K23) assures that each scholar will be given updated review of their program and correction of areas that are not functioning ideally. Specific timelines and guidelines for following of each K scholar program are strictly enforced. Our progress report shows that the progression to independent research careers and R level funding for Wilmer K12 graduates is far above the national standard as published. As shown by the faculty involvement of over 50 scientists, many of whom were K awardees themselves, the institutional expertise and commitment to this program is a high priority of the Wilmer Institute. The combined 275 research grants of the K12 participating faculty comprises a total direct cost this year of over $35 million. This ensures that adequate funding is available to support the costs of mentored training that are not covered by the K awards themselves. Wilmer has produced more full time academics and Department Chairpersons than any other eye institute or department in the U.S. Furthermore, nearly every K12/K08/K23 scholar at Wilmer benefits from a mentor team than includes not only Ophthalmology faculty, but scientists from other departments at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, the Applied Physics Laboratory, and the Bloomberg School of Public Health. These collaborations cross-fertilize both scholar training and the research environment of the Institute, and have included members of Departments such as Neuroscience, Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Epidemiology, International Health, and Pediatrics. The Executive Committee is vigilant to assure that the mentors and mentees are both fulfilling their roles, with written evaluations at regular intervals. The Executive (Advisory) committee consists of experienced and diverse vision scientists, some of whom recently were in K training and others who have over many years mentored multiple K scholars. The Program Director, Dr. Quigley, has mentored over 50 clinician—scientists, including Department Chairs and Division Directors in more than a dozen institutions nationally and internationally. The facilities of Wilmer’s clinical and lab research are unsurpassed, including the 200,000 square foot Smith Building opened recently.

项目概要/摘要 在重新提交续签申请时，威尔默 K12 计划力求继续其成功 在临床和实验室视觉高度相关领域招募和培养新研究人员 我们过去的研究记录表明，在对全职年轻科学家进行指导培训方面取得了成功。 由于我们的帮助，学术研究事业并有效竞争个人和协作资助支持。 临床医生科学家培训的声誉以及视觉科学主要研究领域的多样性 为学者提供，我们每年都会吸引多名极具吸引力的 Wilmer K12 候选人 我们的结构化计划仍然具有相当大的灵活性，可以利用多个导师。 小组进行教学和实践活动相结合的培训。 执行委员会对每位 K 获奖者（K12、K08 和 K23）进行持续监督，确保每位学者 将对其计划进行最新审查并纠正运作不理想的具体领域。 我们的进度报告严格执行每个 K 学者计划的时间表和指导方针。 显示 Wilmer K12 毕业生的独立研究职业发展和 R 级资助 远远高于公布的国家标准，正如 50 多名科学家的参与所表明的那样，其中许多人 其中 K 获奖者本身就是该项目的机构专业知识和承诺 威尔默研究所的优先事项 K12 参与教师的总计 275 项研究资助包括 今年的直接成本总额超过 3500 万美元，这确保了有足够的资金来支持 K 奖本身未涵盖的指导培训费用已产生更全面的费用。 与美国任何其他眼科研究所或部门相比，学者和系主任的时间最多。 此外，几乎每一位威尔默的 K12/K08/K23 学者都受益于导师团队，他们不仅包括 眼科教职人员，但来自约翰·霍普金斯大学医学院其他部门的科学家 霍普金斯大学、应用物理实验室和彭博公共卫生学院。 合作使学者培训和研究所的研究环境相互促进，并有 包括神经科学、医学、生物医学工程、流行病学、 国际健康和儿科。执行委员会保持警惕，确保导师和儿科。 受训者都履行了自己的职责，并定期进行书面评估。 委员会由经验丰富且多元化的视觉科学家组成，其中一些最近接受过 K 培训并 项目主任 Quigley 博士多年来指导过多名 K 学者。 指导了超过 50 名临床医生科学家，其中包括多个部门的系主任和部门主任 Wilmer 的临床和实验室研究设施遍布国内外十几个机构。 无与伦比的，包括最近开业的 200,000 平方英尺的史密斯大厦。
