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.

管理核心 摘要： UTSW视觉研究核心助学金的总体目标是增强视觉能力 通过促进轻松获得设备、培训和技术支持，研究科学家将： 实验能力，提高科学严谨性，产生更具成本效益和时间效益的研究，以及 开拓新的研究方向。核心补助金还将有助于维持一个肥沃的环境， 培养年轻的视觉研究人员，并在UTSW促进视觉科学家之间的新合作 和达拉斯/堡垒的其他机构。价值大都会。 我们建议的NEI核心中心由三个资源/服务模块组成，每个模块由一名教师指导 在本单位的核心领域有经验和专业知识的成员：1)细胞培养和细胞表型鉴定；2) 分子生物学/病毒生产；以及3)显微镜和数字成像。此外，该中心还包括一个 生物统计学家，将与每个研究人员合作设计他们的研究研究，以及 计划对其数据进行严格分析，并解释其结果。马修·彼得罗尔， 行政核心首席调查员兼中心主任博士将负责全面 核心中心和NEI P30赠款的管理。彼得罗尔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、管理服务合同和采购用品以支持所有这三项工作 科学单元；2)安排与核心赠款活动有关的会议；3)维持预算和 每月向皮特罗尔博士和三位模块主管提供支出汇总。彼得罗尔医生会等着 每月召开模块总监会议，以排除可能出现的任何问题，以确保 优先事项得到满足，模块得到大量使用，并确定带来新项目的机会 去中心。他还将主持核心赠款咨询委员会的半年度会议，该委员会将 就技术问题提供建议，并将有助于裁决可能出现的任何严重冲突。此外, 咨询委员会成员与不同学科的研究人员有很强的联系， 独特的定位，可以识别和促进潜在的多学科合作，并推荐 吸收新技术和新技术。 核心赠款的成功将通过以下成果衡量标准进行评估：a)参与者人数 利用每个模块；b)受益于一个或多个模块的出版物数量；c)数量 由核心拨款支持的先导研究，最终授予新的NEI研究拨款或 私人基金会助学金；d)符合以下条件的博士后研究员、医学生和研究生人数 有效利用每个模块；以及e)论文研究依赖于支持的学生数量 一个或多个模块；以及这些学生在NEI重点领域完成博士学位的人数。
