CORE GRANT FOR VISION RESEARCH

视觉研究小组建议由这项核心拨款支持 已经作为一个单位运作了10多年。我们小组由一个小组组成 以洛克菲勒大学为中心的调查人员，包括 康奈尔大学解剖学和眼科的研究人员 大学医学院。视觉研究计划包括 分子和细胞神经科学研究、发展中和 视觉系统的综合功能。这笔核心赠款的目的是 是促进小组成员之间的合作，并提供 继续支持共同设施。核心由以下几部分组成 模块：1)计算机和计算机图形学；2)组织学和电子学 显微镜、照片、组织培养和杂交瘤技术。 此外，还有一个管理核心设施的单元。这些 调查人员执行项目所需的设施是必要的。 他们是通过R01赠款获得资金的。一直以来 可能在过去的5年里建立这个单位，因为 贾维茨卓越中心赠款的可用性，但该计划将 在1990年被取消，因此不受续签的限制。因此，这就是 将取代贾维茨赠款的赠款，对于支持 实验室现有的共享设施，使 继续进行调查人员所从事的研究 建议和该中心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.
