DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Core Center Grant is proposed to support vision research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Investigators in the Department of Ophthalmology recently completed a 5-year infrastructure grant (R24) that supported ocular surface research on our campus. The infrastructure grant was enormously successful and fostered new collaborations and culminated in 69 publications in peer-review journals. We recently received a one-year P30 Core Grant through the ARRA. This unique one-year award has fostered further collaborations among vision researchers from the Departments of Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Physiology, Neuroscience, and the Center for Developmental Biology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. We have also initiated a number of vision-related projects and seminar series that have enriched vision research activities on this campus. This, along with the acquisition of additional NEl-supported research, prompted us to submit a 5-year P30 Core Grant application to enhance and expand research efforts that rely on three common technologies: 1) tissue culture/hybridoma; 2) imaging; and 3) protein biochemistry and virus-mediated gene transfer. Significant institutional support in the form of additional laboratory space, endowed scholars' awards, and intramural research awards has provided a fertile ground for expansion and enhancement of vision research on our campus. The proposed Core Grant for Vision Research will further this effort and enhance vision research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

描述(由申请者提供)：建议设立核心中心助学金，以支持德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的视觉研究。眼科的研究人员最近完成了一项为期5年的基础设施拨款(R24)，用于支持我们校园的眼表研究。基础设施赠款非常成功，促进了新的合作，最终在同行评议期刊上发表了69篇文章。我们最近通过ARRA获得了为期一年的P30核心助学金。这一独特的为期一年的奖项促进了来自眼科、精神病学、 生理学、神经科学和德克萨斯大学西南医学中心发育生物学中心。我们还发起了一系列与视觉相关的项目和研讨会系列，丰富了校园里的视觉研究活动。这一点，以及对NEL资助的其他研究的收购，促使我们提交了为期5年的P30核心拨款申请，以加强和扩大依赖三种常见技术的研究努力：1)组织培养/杂交瘤；2)成像；以及3)蛋白质生物化学和病毒介导的基因转移。以额外的实验室空间、捐赠学者奖和校内研究奖的形式提供的重要机构支持为扩大和加强我们校园的视觉研究提供了肥沃的土壤。拟议的视觉研究核心助学金将进一步推动这一努力，并加强德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的视觉研究。
