DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests the renewal of a Vision Core grant that supports more than 30 vision research labs with 29 qualifying NEI awards at Harvard. The overall goal of the proposed Vision Core is to enhance vision' research at Harvard by providing vision scientists with resources and facilities that could not be supported by individual laboratories. A further objective of the Vision Core is to provide a focus that promotes collaborations between vision scientists and encourages other investigators to do research on vision and the eye. The Vision, Core will support three modules that have been serving the vision research community during the current funding period. A Neural Imaging Module provides resources to facilitate experiments using a wide range of state-of-the-art imaging techniques, including in vivo two-photon microscopy, functional imaging and quantitative microscopy. A Machine Shop Module provides services for designing and manufacturing special equipment that cannot be obtained commercially. Finally, a Neuroengineering Module assists in the design and implementation of hardware and software to interface laboratory equipment for experiments. Each module is under the direction of an accomplished and capable vision scientist. Support for the Vision Core is essential for maintaining a high level of productivity in the vision community at Harvard, for fostering and supporting collaborative efforts, and for attracting new scientists to vision research.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请请求续签 Vision Core 拨款，该拨款支持哈佛 30 多个视觉研究实验室，并获得 29 个合格的 NEI 奖项。拟议的视觉核心的总体目标是通过为视觉科学家提供单个实验室无法支持的资源和设施来加强哈佛大学的视觉研究。愿景核心的另一个目标是提供一个重点，促进 视觉科学家之间的合作，并鼓励其他研究人员进行视觉和眼睛的研究。 Vision, Core 将支持在当前资助期间一直为视觉研究界服务的三个模块。神经成像模块提供资源，以促进使用各种最先进的成像技术进行实验，包括体内双光子显微镜、功能成像和定量显微镜。机械车间模块提供设计和制造无法在商业上获得的特殊设备的服务。最后，神经工程模块协助设计和实现硬件和软件，以连接实验室设备进行实验。每个模块都由一位有成就且有能力的视觉科学家指导。对 Vision Core 的支持对于保持高水平的生产力至关重要 哈佛大学的视觉社区，致力于促进和支持协作努力，并吸引新科学家参与视觉研究。
