CORE GRANT FOR VISION RESEARCH

视觉研究小组建议由这项核心拨款资助 作为一个整体运作了十多年 我们组由一组 以洛克菲勒大学为中心的调查人员，包括 来自康奈尔大学解剖学和眼科学系的研究人员 大学医学院。 视觉研究计划包括 分子和细胞神经科学、发育和 视觉系统的综合功能。 这项核心补助金的目的是 是促进小组成员之间的合作，并提供 继续支持共同设施。 核心包括以下内容 模块：1）计算机和计算机图形，2）组织学和电子 显微镜，3）照片和4）组织培养和杂交瘤技术。 此外，还有一个管理核心设施的模块。 这些 调查人员进行项目所需的设施 他们通过R01赠款获得资助。 已经 在过去的5年里，由于 贾维茨卓越中心赠款的可用性，但该计划是 在1990年被取消，因此不需要延期。 因此该 赠款将取代贾维茨赠款，对支持以下方面至关重要： 实验室现有的共享设施， 研究人员继续进行研究， 该中心的建议和视觉研究的进一步发展。

The group in vision research proposed to be supported by this core grant has functioned as a unit for over 10 years. Our group consists of a group of investigators centered at The Rockefeller University, and including investigators from the departments of anatomy and ophthalmology at Cornell University Medical College. The program in vision research includes studies in molecular and cellular neuroscience, in development and in the integrative functions of the visual system. The purpose of this core grant is to foster collaboration among the members of the group, and to provide continued support of common facilities. The core consists of the following modules: 1) computers and computer graphics, 2) histology and electron microscopy, 3) photograph and 4) tissue culture and hybridoma technology. In addition there is a module to administrate the core facilities. These facilities are necessary for the investigators to carry out the projects for which they have been funded through their R01 grants. It has been possible to build up this unit over the last 5 years because of the availability of a Javits Center of Excellence grant, but this program is to be eliminated in 1990 and therefore not subject to renewal. Thus this grant, which will replace the Javits grant, is essential for the support of the existing shared facilities in the laboratory, making possible the continuance of the research pursued by the investigators included in the proposal and the further growth of vision research at this center.
