# Stanford Vision Training Program

> **NIH NIH T32** · STANFORD UNIVERSITY · 2021 · $209,550

## Abstract

PROJECT SUMMARY
Here we propose a Stanford University NEI T32 Vision Science Training Grant. Based on excellence in
postdoctoral training among our vision science faculty, our goal in this application is to provide a vision-
specific research training program with integrated clinical experience to the talented trainees at Stanford.
Specifically, we seek training support for post-doctoral fellows. The 20 primary vision research faculty in
the Stanford Vision Training Program includes 14 PhDs and 6 MD/PhDs of all academic ranks. The vision
faculty has strengths in diverse areas, including molecular and cellular vision biology, vision encoding and
circuitry, development and genetics, in vivo imaging, higher order visual behavior and perception,
mechanisms of diseases, and different approaches to the treatment of diseases. There are multiple
institutional grants and programs that support the faculty, along with many individual faculty grants.
Together, the primary vision faculty is funded by 98 grants totaling over 20 million dollars, of which 28
grants are from the NEI, 50 grants are from the NIH (including NEI), and the rest are from the
Department of Defense, National Science Foundation, and various foundations. Three faculty mentors
are Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigators. Exciting developments for the Stanford Vision
Training Program include the recruitment of a significant new cohort of vision research faculty to Stanford,
including the new Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology, and unparalleled institutional resources
committed by the department and by the Stanford University School of Medicine. Formal classroom, clinical
and laboratory training under the auspices of carefully crafted training plans, new quarterly and annual vision
research symposia, and oversight by both an Executive Committee and External Reviewer(s) will allow this
Stanford Vision Training Program to produce future leaders in vision research who are able to tackle the
most interesting and important questions and open new horizons at Stanford and beyond.
