DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Salk Institute for Biological Studies requests support for a new Core Grant for Vision Research. Vision research at the Salk Institute has grown considerably over the past two decades and the vision core faculty now includes 15 research laboratories, 10 currently funded through 13 R01 grant awards from the National Eye Institute. These vision science investigators come from several different Salk Institute departments, including the Vision Center, Computational Neurobiology, Molecular Neurobiology, Regulatory Biology and Systems Neurobiology Laboratories, and the Laboratory for Cognitive Neuroscience. Vision research at the Salk Institute covers broad areas of interest, including visual system development and plasticity, understanding the mechanisms of the neural processing of visual stimuli, visual perception and their link to behaviors, and pathology. The NEI P30 Core Grant will enable the establishment of four Modules that are critical in support of these efforts: 1) Molecular Biology and Virology Module, 2) Non-Human Primate Facility Module, 3) Machine Shop Module, and 4) Advanced Computing Module. Each of the modules will have significant use by at least seven core investigators, with the Machine Shop and Advanced Computing Modules supporting all members of the core. NEI support for the Salk Vision Core will help to foster new interdisciplinary collaborations, supporting and enhancing the significant synergies that exist between these research efforts and providing the basis for the development of new projects and research programs. Core support will also provide significant leverage for the Salk Institute to stimulate outside philanthropy and to recruit trainees and other new investigators, further expanding vision research at the Salk Institute and advancing the mission of the National Eye Institute.

描述（由申请人提供）：索尔克生物研究所请求为视觉研究新的核心拨款提供支持。索尔克研究所的视觉研究在过去二十年中取得了长足发展，视觉核心教员现在包括 15 个研究实验室，其中 10 个实验室目前由国家眼科研究所的 13 R01 拨款资助。这些视觉科学研究人员来自索尔克研究所的几个不同部门，包括视觉中心、计算神经生物学、分子神经生物学、调节生物学和系统神经生物学实验室以及认知神经科学实验室。索尔克研究所的视觉研究涵盖了广泛的兴趣领域，包括视觉系统的发育和可塑性、理解视觉刺激的神经处理机制、视觉感知及其与行为和病理学的联系。 NEI P30 核心拨款将有助于建立对支持这些努力至关重要的四个模块：1) 分子生物学和病毒学模块，2) 非人类灵长类动物设施模块，3) 机械车间模块，以及 4) 高级计算模块。每个模块将被至少七名核心调查员大量使用，机械车间和高级计算模块将支持核心的所有成员。 NEI 对索尔克视觉核心的支持将有助于促进新的跨学科合作，支持和增强这些研究工作之间存在的显着协同作用，并为新项目和研究计划的开发提供基础。核心支持还将为索尔克研究所提供重要的影响力，以刺激外部慈善事业并招募实习生和其他新的研究人员，进一步扩大索尔克研究所的视力研究并推进国家眼科研究所的使命。
