Administrative Core Abstract: The overall goal of this UTSW Core Grant for vision research is to enhance the capabilities of vision research scientists by facilitating easy access to equipment, training and technical support which will: expand experimental capabilities, advance scientific rigor, result in more cost-effective and time-efficient research, and open up new research directions. The Core Grant will also help to sustain a fertile environment for the development of young vision researchers and stimulate new collaborations between vision scientists at UTSW and other institutions in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex. Our proposed NEI Core Center consists of three Resource/Service Modules, each directed by a faculty member with experience and expertise in their unit’s focus area: 1) Cell Culture and Cell Phenotyping; 2) Molecular Biology/Virus Production; and, 3) Microscopy and Digital Imaging. In addition, the Center includes a biostatistician who will work with each of the Investigators regarding the design of their research studies, and with planning for the rigorous analysis of their data and interpretation of their results. W. Matthew Petroll, Ph.D., Principal Investigator of the Administrative Core and Center Director, will be responsible for overall administration of the Core Center and of the NEI P30 grant. Dr. Petroll will oversee Departmental secretarial and administrative staff who will provide administrative support for Center activities. This will include: 1) arranging equipment maintenance, managing service contracts, and purchasing supplies to support all three scientific Modules; 2) scheduling meetings related to the Core Grant activities; 3) maintaining budgets and providing monthly summaries of expenditures to Dr. Petroll and the three Module Directors. Dr. Petroll will hold monthly meetings of the Module Directors to troubleshoot any problems that might arise, to ensure that priorities are satisfied and that Modules are heavily used, and to identify opportunities for bringing new projects to the Center. He will also host the semi-annual meetings of the Core Grant Advisory Committee, which will offer advice on technical issues and will serve to adjudicate any serious conflicts that might arise. In addition, the Advisory Committee members have strong connections to researchers in a variety of disciplines, and are uniquely positioned to identify and promote potential multi-disciplinary collaborations, and recommend the incorporation of new technologies and techniques. Success of the Core Grant will be assessed by the following outcome measures: a) number of participants utilizing each Module; b) number of publications that benefited from one or more of the Modules; c) number of pilot studies supported by the Core Grant that culminated in the awarding of new NEI research grants or private foundation grants; d) number of postdoctoral fellows, medical students, and graduate students that productively utilized each Module; and e) number of students whose dissertation research relied on the support of one or more Modules; and the number of these students who completed their Ph.D. in an NEI-focused area.

行政核心 抽象的： 这项UTSW核心赠款的总体目标是增强视觉的能力 研究科学家通过支持轻松获取设备，培训和技术支持，这将扩大 实验能力，提高科学严谨性，导致更具成本效益和时间效率的研究，以及 打开新的研究方向。核心赠款还将帮助维持一个肥沃的环境 开发年轻视觉研究人员并刺激UTSW的视觉科学家之间的新合作 以及达拉斯/英尺的其他机构。值得大都会。 我们提议的NEI核心中心由三个资源/服务模块组成，每个模块由教师执导 在其单位的重点领域具有经验和专业知识的成员：1）细胞培养和细胞表型； 2） 分子生物学/病毒的产生； 3）显微镜和数字成像。此外，该中心包括一个 生物统计学家将与每个研究人员一起研究其研究的设计，并 通过计划对其数据进行严格分析和对结果的解释。 W. Matthew Petroll， 行政核心兼中心主任首席研究员博士将负责总体负责 核心中心和NEI P30赠款的管理。 Petroll博士将监督部门秘书 以及将为中心活动提供行政支持的行政人员。这将包括：1） 安排设备维护，管理服务合同和购买用品以支持这三个 科学模块； 2）与核心赠款活动有关的安排会议； 3）维护预算和 向Petroll博士和三个模块董事提供每月支出的摘要。 Petroll博士将举行 模块董事每月会议，以解决可能出现的任何问题，以确保 满足优先级，并且模块被大量使用，并确定带来新项目的机会 到中心。他还将举办核心赠款咨询委员会的半年度会议，该会议将 提供有关技术问题的建议，并将有助于调整可能出现的严重冲突。此外， 咨询委员会成员与各个学科的研究人员有着密切的联系，并且是 独特的位置，以识别和促进潜在的多学科合作，并推荐 纳入新技术和技术。 核心赠款的成功将通过以下结果指标评估：a）参与者数量 使用每个模块； b）从一个或多个模块中受益的出版物数量； c）数量 核心赠款支持的试点研究最终导致了新的NEI研究补助金或 私人基金会赠款； d）博士后研究员，医学生和研究生人数 有效地利用了每个模块； e）在支持支持方面的论文研究的学生人数 一个或多个模块；这些完成博士学位的学生人数在一个以内注重的区域。
