DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Vision Research Center (MVRC) is the research arm of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, University of Miami Miller School of Medicine. The MCVR draws together 48 eye and vision research investigators across the University of Miami and nearby institutions. Forty-two investigators hold primary appointments in the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute. This P30 core center grant is specifically directed towards MVRC investigators to integrate expertise on cellular, molecular, functional, anatomical, biophysical, computational, and clinical aspects of the visual system and its disorders, as well as share core resources and educational programs. The MVRC Team includes 21 NEI-funded Principal Investigators holding 19 qualifying NEI grants as well as 27 Principal Investigators holding non-NEI funded grants. Most of the research space is located within the eight-story MVRC. Additional space is located in the adjacent Biomedical Research Building, Rosenstiel building, Lois Pope LlFE center, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, and Clinical Research Building. We request continuing support for a Vision Research Core Grant whose specific aims are, 1) to provide and sustain core resource facilities to enhance the pace and quality of research, 2) to foster collaborative research among investigators from various disciplines, 3) to attract investigators to research on the visual system and its diseases, 4) to help investigators gathering data for new NIH grant proposals. The core grant will support four modules: I) Shared Equipment: to provide access to instrumentation beyond the reach of single labs, II) Experimental Models: to provide expertise and services on in-vivo procedures and testing. III) Biological imaging: to support the processing of biological specimens for quantitative microscopy analysis, IV) Biostatistics: to provide expertise on research design and data analysis. The Bascom Palmer Eye Institute supports additional shared resources including, V) Ophthalmic Biophysics Center: for consultation, maintenance and construction of ad-hoc instrumentation; VI) Clinical Microbiology Laboratory: providing services for clinical and basic research heeds; Vll) The Mary & Edward Norton Library: housing the world's largest collection on the subject of ophthalmology.

描述（由申请人提供）：Evelyn F.和William L.麦克奈特视力研究中心（MVRC）是米勒医学院迈阿密大学巴斯科姆帕尔默眼科研究所的研究部门。MCVR汇集了迈阿密大学和附近机构的48名眼睛和视力研究人员。42名调查人员在巴斯科姆帕尔默眼科研究所担任主要职务。该P30核心中心补助金专门针对MVRC研究人员，以整合视觉系统及其疾病的细胞，分子，功能，解剖，生物物理，计算和临床方面的专业知识，并分享核心资源和教育计划。MVRC团队包括21名NEI资助的主要研究员，持有19项符合条件的NEI赠款，以及27名持有非NEI资助赠款的主要研究员。大部分研究空间位于八层楼高的MVRC内。额外的空间位于相邻的生物医学研究大楼，罗森斯蒂尔大楼，洛伊斯波普LlFE中心，西尔维斯特综合癌症中心和临床研究大楼。我们要求继续支持视觉研究核心补助金，其具体目标是，1）提供和维持核心资源设施，以提高研究的速度和质量，2）促进来自不同学科的研究人员之间的合作研究，3）吸引研究人员研究视觉系统及其疾病， 4)帮助研究人员为新的NIH拨款提案收集数据。核心赠款将支持四个模块：I）共享设备：提供超出单个实验室范围的仪器，II）实验模型：提供体内程序和测试的专业知识和服务。III）生物成像：以支持定量显微镜分析的生物标本的处理，四）生物统计学：提供研究设计和数据分析的专业知识。巴斯科姆帕尔默眼科研究所支持额外的共享资源，包括，五）眼科生物物理中心：咨询，维护和特设仪器的建设;六）临床微生物学实验室：提供临床和基础研究服务;七）玛丽和爱德华诺顿图书馆：容纳世界上最大的收藏眼科学的主题。
