项目摘要

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计划计划通过基础，应用和临床研究增强验光教育抽象的 T35培训赠款标题为“通过基本，应用和临床研究，试图负担合格的验光实习生有机会与经验丰富的研究教师在进行基础，应用，临床和转化研究化身词罗森伯格验光学院（UIWRSO）。目标包括（a）致力于早期检测，诊断和治疗的教师研究眼科疾病以及基本和应用研究，增强了我们对视觉的理解功能导致正常和异常种群的视力改善（b）激发实习生从事博士后研究，学术活动以及铺路课程的位置致力于学术和研究职业（C）促进与其他UIW计划的合作（学校医学，药房，物理疗法，护理，数学，科学和工程以及生物医学科学）以及机构和行业共享共同目标。理由因为我们的建议是基于我们的夏季研究金培训计划的成功（SFTP）自2011年以来活跃，允许实习生在教师监督研究期间参加在第一和第二职业年之间的夏天。 SFTP非常成功在专业的与T35资助的验光学相当或超过主要学校和学院的会议赠款。虽然SFTP在很大程度上是由内部资助的，但以前由行业补充赠款以增加验光教育的多样性，它密切反映当前的T35计划，并且我们希望继续我们的成功。我们建议T35赠款每年支持四个实习生 8周的夏季持续了五年。
