DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Core Center Grant is proposed to suppport vision research at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. The recent expansion of vision research on our campus has created an opportunity to enhance visual science research at U.T. Southwestern Medical Center through the creation of a Vision Research Core Facility that will facilitate and expand the research activities that are currently supported by 10 R0l's awarded to 9 Pi's. The majority of NEI-supported research activities at U.T. Southwestern Medical Center share a common reliance on three major technologies: 1) tissue culture/monoclonal antibody production; 2) imaging; and 3) biochemistry/protein purification. Over the past several years, investigators in the Department of Ophthalmology have shared resources, technical expertise, and equipment to facilitate their respective research programs in a remarkably collegial atmosphere. The expansion of the Department of Ophthalmology's laboratory facilities and the acquisition of additional NEI grant support to investigators on our campus prompted us to assemble a core grant as a means of enhancing these research activities. Establishing core facilities would obviate duplication of fundamental technologies by PI's in the Departments of Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Developmental Biology, Physiology, and Neuroscience.

描述（由申请人提供）：一个核心中心补助金，建议支持在得克萨斯州西南医学中心大学的视觉研究。最近在我们的校园视觉研究的扩展创造了一个机会，以提高视觉科学研究在UT。西南医学中心通过创建一个视觉研究核心设施，这将促进和扩大目前由10个R 0 l授予9个Pi的研究活动。大多数NEI支持的研究活动在U.T.西南医学中心共同依赖于三种主要技术：1）组织培养/单克隆抗体生产; 2）成像; 3）生物化学/蛋白质纯化。在过去的几年里，眼科学系的研究人员共享资源，技术专长和设备，以促进他们各自的研究计划在一个显着的合议气氛。眼科实验室设施的部门的扩张和额外的NEI补助金支持我们校园的调查人员的收购促使我们组装一个核心补助金作为加强这些研究活动的手段。建立核心设施将避免眼科、精神病学、发育生物学、生理学和神经科学系的PI重复基本技术。
