DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application to establish a Vision Infrastructure Center is founded on the emerging strength and growing promise of vision research at the University at Buffalo. We are ideally suited for this program because we are currently a small but tightly knit faculty of 5 NEI-funded investigators with multiple overlapping scientific areas of interest. In addition, we have the commitment of the Department of Ophthalmology and the School of Medicine for continued, rapid growth of our research mission. Our proposal is to create advanced research facilities that will serve to enhance the research and collaboration of current faculty plus serve as a magnet for new vision scientists. The objective is to establish state-of-the-art modules in Biophotonics and in Vision Transgenics. Both modules will extend technologies currently in use, enabling researchers to broaden current scientific boundaries. These modules take advantage of the coupled expertise of the present vision faculty, harnessing a synergy that will foster collaborative research. It also utilizes expertise of other faculty and institutions at the University. The goal is to have the University at Buffalo adopt vision research as one of their select targets of support for designation as an area of excellence, which would entail a major infusion of infrastructure support and recruitment of new vision faculty.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请建立一个视觉基础设施中心是建立在新兴的实力和日益增长的承诺，在布法罗大学的视觉研究。我们非常适合这个项目，因为我们目前是一个小而紧密的5个NEI资助的研究人员与多个重叠的科学领域感兴趣的教师。此外，我们有眼科系和医学院的承诺，我们的研究使命的持续，快速增长。我们的建议是建立先进的研究设施，这将有助于加强现有教师的研究和合作，并作为新的视觉科学家的磁铁。其目标是建立国家的最先进的模块在生物光子学和视觉转基因。这两个模块都将扩展目前使用的技术，使研究人员能够拓宽当前的科学边界。这些模块利用了目前视觉教师的耦合专业知识，利用协同作用，将促进合作研究。它还利用大学其他教师和机构的专业知识。目标是让布法罗大学将视觉研究作为其指定为卓越领域的选择支持目标之一，这将需要大量注入基础设施支持和招聘新的视觉教师。
