Vision Research Core

描述（由申请人提供）：佛罗里达大学视觉研究核心基金的更新有两个主要目标：1。提高佛罗里达大学各院系视觉研究核心研究人员使用最先进技术进行视觉研究的能力。视觉研究核心设施支持和加强现有的，资助的研究项目的成员。此外，它也是校园内其他视觉研究工作的资源，促进新举措，并确保所有视觉研究人员都能获得最新的技术和专业知识。2. 促进视觉研究领域的多学科合作研究。我们的调查人员和部门之间已经有了高度的合作、沟通和交流思想和专业知识。视觉研究中心的共享支持设施有助于进一步巩固这种社区意识，支持共同的目标和目标，并提高视觉科学中复杂问题的跨学科研究水平。这些目标是通过视力研究核心服务模块来实现的，这些服务模块由该基金、眼科、医学院和佛罗里达大学支持。我们建议

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This renewal of the University of Florida's Vision Research Core grant has two overarching aims: 1. To enhance the ability of Vision Research Core investigators in various departments at the University of Florida to perform studies in vision research using state-of-the-art techniques. Vision Research Core facilities support and enhance the existing, funded research programs of its members. Moreover, it is a resource for other vision research efforts across the campus, facilitates new initiatives and ensures that the latest technology and expertise is accessible to all vision researchers. 2. To promote collaborative and multidisciplinary studies in vision research. Collaboration, communication and interchange of ideas and expertise already exist to a high degree among our investigators and departments. The shared support facilities of the Vision Research Core serve to further solidify this sense of community, bolster common goals and objectives, and increase the level of interdisciplinary research on complex problems in the visual sciences. These aims are accomplished through Vision Research Core service modules supported by this grant, by the Department of Ophthalmology, by the College of Medicine and by the University of Florida. We propose to meet the developing needs of the University of Florida vision researchers through four modules: 1) Cell & Tissue Culture/Immunology, 2) Molecular Genetics, 3) Structural Biology/Histology and 4) In-Life Ocular Analysis. Each module offers state-of-the art instruments, services and advice, and continues to evolve to best meet the changing needs of its users in this rapidly developing era of ocular research.
