Harvard-Vision Clinical Scientist Development Program - Program Summary The extraordinary growth and specialization that has occurred in the sciences has made it difficult to link the increasing divide between clinical and basic science components of ophthalmic and vision sciences. Translational research has suffered as a consequence. The Harvard Department of Ophthalmology is one of the largest academic departments of Ophthalmology in the nation. With 188+ full-time clinical and basic science faculty members, the Department makes significant contributions to ophthalmic and vision research in virtually all basic, applied, and clinical subspecialty areas. The Harvard Department of Ophthalmology K12 program offers a customized and structured learning, research, and development environment to a select and diverse group of highly-qualified, clinically-trained candidates who have recently completed (or are about to complete) their training, but who desire further mentored learning experience so as to become independent clinical scientists in their respective fields. Scholar candidates in this program will (i) complete a core curriculum that will include (a) the Harvard Program in Clinical Effectiveness – a summer-long immersion program in biostatistics and study design, (b) training in Responsible Conduct of Research and Bioethics, and (c) participation in Grant Writing courses. Scholars will also (ii) perform research in a closely mentored program under the guidance of lead mentors who are leaders in their respective fields. Trainees in this program will additionally have the option of seeking an advanced degree (MS, MPH, PhD, ScD) at Harvard Medical School. This is a competitive renewal application for the Harvard Ophthalmology K12 program, which has been very successful to date in meeting its benchmarks of recruiting and training top-notch clinician-scientists in a mentored environment. All program Scholars have been highly productive in research, have completed or enrolled in degree programs, and received national academic and research awards and grants. Importantly, since the start of our program in 2004 all the Scholars who have completed the program have been awarded funding from the NIH or other competitive peer-reviewed funding sources. We intend to enroll 4 scholars in the next renewal cycle (5 years) and each scholar will continue in the program for an estimated 3 years per the NEI-mandated 3-year cap per Scholar. The progress of Scholars is reported by the Program Director twice annually to the Program Advisory Committee and annually to the External Advisory Committee, comprised of leading vision and ophthalmic scientists and educators in our nation. Our aim is to build on our progress to date, and continue our training program for an additional 5 years.
