DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This P30 proposal is a request for partial funding to cover costs for core resource modules supporting research within the Miami Center for Vision Research (MCVR), the umbrella component of the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Vision Research Center, University of Miami School of Medicine. The modules are: Biostatistics, and Equipment. Most of the module space is located within the eight-story McKnight building. This building houses laboratory research activities of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, which serves as the Department of Ophthalmology for the University. Additional space is located in the adjacent Rosenstiel building, which is connected to McKnight by a sky bridge. The MCVR currently comprises the research activities of 67 faculty level scientists, physicians, and optometrists who direct or collaborate in laboratory or clinical programs in eye and vision research at the University of Miami School of Medicine. This includes 20 NEI-funded Principal Investigators who hold a total of 29 NEI grants. In addition, 10 new NEI grant applications are currently under review and 10 more are in the preparation stage. Most of the MCVR investigators hold primary appointments in the Department of Ophthalmology, but there are representatives from several other departments, as well as one investigator from a neighboring institution. Major scientific disciplines represented in this group include biochemistry, bioengineering, biophysics, biostatistics, biotechnology, cell biology, developmental biology, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, molecular biology, neurobiology, and pharmacology. All of the major categories of eye biology and disease recognized by the National Eye Institute in its current five year plan are addressed by the research of this group. Research concentrations exist in the following eight areas: 1. developmental genetics & reparative processes, 2. regenerative biology and molecular/cellular therapeutics, 3. vascular biology, 4. visual processes, 5. engineering in the eye, 6. imaging technologies, 7. surgery & treatment modalities; clinical trials & clinical outcomes, and 8. epidemiology & public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：本P30提案请求部分资金，用于支付迈阿密视觉研究中心（MCVR）核心资源模块支持研究的费用，MCVR是迈阿密大学医学院Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight视觉研究中心的伞状组成部分。模块是：生物统计学和设备。大部分模块空间位于八层的McKnight大楼内。这座建筑容纳了巴斯科姆帕尔默眼科研究所的实验室研究活动，该研究所是该大学的眼科部门。额外的空间位于相邻的Rosenstiel建筑中，该建筑通过一座天桥与McKnight相连。MCVR目前由67名教员级科学家、医生和验光师组成，他们在迈阿密大学医学院的眼科和视觉研究实验室或临床项目中指导或合作。这包括20名NEI资助的首席研究员，他们总共持有29笔NEI赠款。此外，目前正在审查10项新的环境教育资助申请，另有10项正在筹备阶段。大多数MCVR调查员在眼科担任主要职位，但也有来自其他几个部门的代表，以及来自邻近机构的一名调查员。主要的科学学科包括生物化学、生物工程、生物物理学、生物统计学、生物技术、细胞生物学、发育生物学、流行病学、遗传学、免疫学、分子生物学、神经生物学和药理学。国家眼科研究所在其当前的五年计划中确认的所有主要类别的眼生物学和疾病都由该小组的研究解决。研究集中在以下八个领域：发育遗传学与修复过程，2。再生生物学和分子/细胞治疗，3。血管生物学，4；5.视觉过程；工程在眼睛，6。7.影像技术；手术及治疗方式；8.临床试验与临床结果；流行病学与公共卫生。
