DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Investigators who have achieved independent National Eye Institute (NEI) funding will be provided with additional shared support to enhance their own and University of Washington's capability for conducting vision research. Collaborative studies will be facilitated, and scientists will be attracted to research on the visual system by the presence of this shared support. A modular organizational structure will be maintained, with each module devoted to a specific activity that would be impractical or less efficient to support on an individual research grant. Each module will support a service or resource that enhances or facilitates the research efforts of a CORE group of investigators, each having independent funding. Some sharing of resources and services with non-NEI-funded collaborators and with investigators new to vision research will occur. Junior researchers will also have access to these facilities to improve their ability to attain independent NEI funding. Proposed modules include: Biochemistry/Immunology (B/l), Genotyping/Phenotyping (G/P), Morphological Imaging (M/l), and Psychophysics/Physiology (PIP). Areas of investigation include retinal and choroidal diseases, corneal wound healing, corneal diseases, lens and cataract, glaucoma, strabismus, amblyopia, visual processing, and ocular development. Specific disciplines that will be brought to bear on these problems include: behavioral studies, biochemistry, biostatistics, molecular biology, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, microscopy, microbiology, morphometry, neurophysiology, and pathology. This project will elucidate basic mechanisms that underlie the function of the eye and the visual system and apply this knowledge and other information to the solution of problems in vision and ophthalmology. Collaboration among investigators from the University of Washington and elsewhere will be promoted. This proposal will improve the effectiveness of funding available on individual research project grants.

描述（由申请人提供）：获得独立国家眼科研究所（NEI）资助的研究人员将获得额外的共享支持，以提高他们自己和华盛顿大学进行视力研究的能力。合作研究将得到促进，科学家将被这种共同支持的存在所吸引，对视觉系统进行研究。将保持一个模块化的组织结构，每个模块专门用于一个具体的活动，这将是不切实际的或效率较低的支持对个人的研究补助金。每个模块将支持一项服务或资源，以加强或促进核心调查小组的研究工作，每个小组都有独立的资金。与非NEI资助的合作者和新的视觉研究人员共享资源和服务。初级研究人员也可以使用这些设施，以提高他们获得独立NEI资金的能力。拟议的模块包括：生物化学/免疫学（B/l）、基因分型/表型（G/P）、形态学成像（M/l）和心理物理学/生理学（PIP）。研究领域包括视网膜和脉络膜疾病、角膜伤口愈合、角膜疾病、透镜和白内障、青光眼、斜视、弱视、视觉处理和眼部发育。具体的学科，将承担这些问题包括：行为研究，生物化学，生物统计学，分子生物学，细胞生物学，蛋白质组学，免疫学，显微镜，微生物学，形态测量学，神经生理学和病理学。 该项目将阐明眼睛和视觉系统功能的基本机制，并将这些知识和其他信息应用于解决视觉和眼科问题。将促进来自华盛顿大学和其他地方的调查人员之间的合作。这项建议将提高个别研究项目补助金的资助效益。
