The University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) has been awarded a $252,573 Project Grant under the National Eye Institute (NEI) Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to establish the UCSF Program in Resident Opportunities for Mentored Ophthalmic Training in Experimentation (PROMOTE). This 5-year grant, effective March 1, 2025, aims to recruit, train, mentor, and launch diverse resident-investigators with both clinical expertise and scientific, methodological, and leadership skills to conduct transformative clinical and translational vision research. Key program activities include high-quality resident-led mentored research, leveraging existing postdoctoral training resources, career development training, and rigorous program evaluation. The overarching goal is to develop the next generation of clinician-scientists focused on eliminating vision loss and improving quality of life across diverse populations.
