Administrative Component We plan to continue the administrative arrangements that have served us well in the past funding period. Overall supervision of the Core is under the direction of the PI and the Core Center Executive Committee. This committee consists of the PI as chair, the six Module directors and co-director, and Peter Hitchcock, Ph.D., chair of the Research Committee in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences and director of our T32 program. Bret A. Hughes, Ph.D., a long-standing NEI R01 holder, has served as Principal Investigator of this Core Center for Vision Research for the past thirteen years and is intimately involved with the overall and day-to-day direction of the Core Center. The Core Center Executive Committee meets quarterly and reviews the activities of each Module. In particular, the meetings emphasize enhancement of the overall research environment, the success of the Core Center in attracting new investigators and projects into vision research, and the success of collaborative efforts. Time logs of the Modules are reviewed and issues regarding access to each facility are examined. The Executive Committee also considers how the impact of Modules might be enhanced by changing or adding services. Such deliberations resulted in the decisions to modify the services provided by the Molecular Biology Module and to establish the Functional Assessment Module. NEI-R01 funded investigators have priority in use of the facilities. Other researchers, especially those with other NEI research awards and those collaborating with NEI-funded researchers are next in order of priority. Time permitting, the Modules can be used by other individuals involved in vision research, and through such usage, new investigators are encouraged to pursue vision-related research and develop pilot data to support NEI grant submissions. These procedures and priorities have worked well, with no major problems or disputes. Several minor issues related to access or personnel matters were rapidly resolved to everyone's satisfaction by the PI and Executive Committee. Thus, the PI and the Core Center Executive Committee share responsibility to ensure that the Core Modules and facilities are effectively and efficiently utilized by all University of Michigan vision scientists. In addition, we actively strive to ensure that all members of the vision research community are aware of these resources and use them to benefit their research projects. Three mechanisms are in place to inform participating investigators and potential users of the resources and services provided by the Core Center Modules. First, we maintain a Vision Core Center website within the Kellogg Eye Center website (http://www.kelloqq.umich.edu/research/facilities.html). This website includes links to the Core Modules and their capabilities, our vision research training program, vision research seminars, and the areas of basic and clinical research of our faculty. Second, once a year, the PI, Module Directors, and Module staff present an overview of the Core Center Modules to the vision research community during the regular time slot for the vision research seminar. Third, the availability of new Core Module instrumentation and services is announced by e-mail to the entire vision research community. Finally, in advance of the preparation of this proposal, a series of discussions with participating investigators was conducted to determine the resources and services that best fit the research needs of the vision community, particularly members with existing and pending NEI R01 research projects. As a result of this feedback, the Core Center Executive Committee made changes to the services provided by the Molecular Biology Module and the new Functional Assessment Module was established.

行政部分 我们计划继续推行在过去拨款期内行之有效的行政安排。核心的全面监督是在PI和核心中心执行委员会的指导下。该委员会由PI担任主席，六名模块主任和联合主任，以及Peter希区柯克博士组成，眼科和视觉科学系研究委员会主席，T32项目主任。布雷特·A休斯博士，长期持有NEI R 01保持器，在过去的十三年里一直担任视觉研究核心中心的首席研究员，并密切参与核心中心的整体和日常方向。核心中心执行委员会每季度举行一次会议，审查每个模块的活动。特别是，会议强调整体研究环境的改善，核心中心在吸引新的研究人员和项目进入视觉研究方面的成功，以及合作努力的成功。对各单元的时间记录进行了审查，并审查了有关进入每个设施的问题。执行委员会还审议了如何通过改变或增加服务来加强模块的影响。这种审议导致决定修改分子生物学模块提供的服务，并建立功能评估模块。NEI-R 01资助的研究者优先使用这些设施。其他研究人员，特别是那些与其他NEI研究奖和那些与NEI资助的研究人员合作的研究人员是下一个优先顺序。如果时间允许，这些模块可以被参与视觉研究的其他人使用，通过这种使用，鼓励新的研究人员进行与视觉相关的研究，并开发试点数据，以支持NEI拨款申请。这些程序和优先事项运作良好，没有出现重大问题或争议。PI和执行委员会迅速解决了与访问或人事事项有关的几个小问题，使每个人都感到满意。 因此，PI和核心中心执行委员会共同负责确保核心模块和设施被密歇根大学所有视觉科学家有效利用。此外，我们积极努力确保视觉研究社区的所有成员都知道这些资源，并利用它们来使他们的研究项目受益。已建立三个机制，向参与的调查人员和潜在用户通报核心中心单元提供的资源和服务。首先，我们在凯洛格眼科中心网站（http：//www.kelloqq.umich.edu/research/facilities.html）中维护一个Vision Core Center网站。该网站包括链接到核心模块及其功能，我们的视觉研究培训计划，视觉研究研讨会，以及我们的教师的基础和临床研究领域。其次，每年一次，PI，模块主任和模块工作人员在视觉研究研讨会的常规时间段内向视觉研究界介绍核心中心模块的概述。第三，通过电子邮件向整个视觉研究社区宣布新的核心模块仪器和服务的可用性。最后，在准备本提案之前，与参与研究者进行了一系列讨论，以确定最适合视觉社区研究需求的资源和服务，特别是现有和正在进行NEI R 01研究项目的成员。作为反馈的结果，核心中心执行委员会对分子生物学模块提供的服务进行了更改，并建立了新的功能评估模块。
