DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The application requests support for maintenance, upgrade, and specialized personnel to enhance the existing microscopy and tissue culture facilities in the Margaret M. Dyson Vision Research Institute at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University. The overall goal of the planned infrastructure improvements is to increase the scientific productivity of Dyson researchers by providing he best possible research environment. Optimized facility management and usage will be important to facilitate existing, NEI funded research projects in the Dyson Institute. Furthermore, the proposed enhancements to the support and equipment for microscopy and tissue culture shared by all Dyson scientists will be necessary to promote new lines of individual and collaborative investigations on topics of retinal cell biology, which is the common interest of Dyson faculty. Finally, an improved environment will render the Dyson vision research institute more attractive to investigators who may be interested in vision research but have yet established NEI-funded projects, thus facilitating the recruitment of new researchers to vision science.

申请者描述(由申请人提供)：申请请求支持维护、升级和专业人员，以增强康奈尔大学威尔医学院玛格丽特·M·戴森视力研究所的现有显微镜和组织培养设施。计划中的基础设施改进的总体目标是通过提供尽可能好的研究环境来提高戴森研究人员的科学生产率。优化的设施管理和使用对于促进戴森研究所现有的NEI资助的研究项目将是重要的。此外，所有戴森科学家共享的显微镜和组织培养支持和设备的拟议增强将是必要的，以促进在视网膜细胞生物学主题上的个人和合作研究的新路线，这是戴森教员的共同兴趣。最后，改善的环境将使戴森视觉研究所对那些可能对视觉研究感兴趣但尚未建立NEI资助的项目的研究人员更具吸引力，从而促进视觉科学领域招募新的研究人员。
