Spectral Domain Ophthalmic Imaging System

描述（由申请人提供）：纽约州立大学（SUNY）眼科研究所（SEI）是一个多中心，多学科的研究机构，它体现了一种新颖的， 视觉研究的令人兴奋的模式-一个真正综合的多中心研究所，服务于我们国家第三大人口最多的州的广泛和多样化的选区。由S10应用程序资助的仪器将为SEI提供额外的支持。该S10应用程序的总体目标是为位于SUNY Downstate Medical Center站点的SUNY眼科研究所（SEI）的NIH资助研究提供核心支持，并为研究人员提供获取额外NIH资助数据的能力。SEI是一个成立于2009年的新实体，它将四所SUNY医科大学和SUNY Optography在视觉研究方面的互补优势整合到一个研究联盟中。SEI模式代表了一种范式转变，建立在传统的学术基础设施上，使用高速通信来生成全州范围内的研究中心。它将国家眼科研究所（NEI）的三个核心组成部分-基础，眼科和验光研究-合并为一个合作研究所，其使命是阐明视觉系统的病理生物学。这种协作教师的努力有力地支持了NEI计划的目标，以开发新的见解和治疗途径，视觉功能障碍。这个S10应用程序的目标是提供仪器：<$改善最先进的眼科研究核心设施，为R 01资助和其他NIH资助的SEI研究人员服务;<$减少重复的研究费用，并为NIH资助的SEI研究人员整合资源;<$促进和促进NIH资助的SEI科学家之间的合作研究互动;<$增强视觉研究的研究环境，在纽约州立大学系统一般和在纽约州立大学下州医学中心具体。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The State University of New York (SUNY) Eye Institute (SEI) is a multi-center, multidisciplinary research institute, which embodies a novel and exciting model for vision research - that of a truly integrated multi-center institute that serves he broad and diverse constituency of our nation's third most populous state. The instrumentation funded by this S10 application will provide additional support for the SEI. The overall objective of this S10 application is to provide core support for NIH- funded research in the SUNY Eye Institute (SEI) at its SUNY Downstate Medical Center site, as well as to provide investigators the ability to obtain data for additional NIH funding. The SEI, a novel entity established in 2009, integrates the complementary strengths in vision research of the four SUNY medical universities and SUNY Optometry into a single research consortium. The SEI model represents a paradigm shift, built on the traditional academic infrastructure, using high-speed communication to generate a state-wide research- focused institute. It unites the three core constituencies of the National Eye Institute (NEI) - basic, ophthalmic, and optometric research - into a collaborative institute whose mission is to elucidate pathobiologies of the visual system. This collaborative faculty effort strongly supports the NEI program goals to develop novel insights into, and therapeutic avenues for, visual dysfunction. The goals of this S10 application are to provide instrumentation to: ¿ improve state-of-the-art eye research core facilities to serve R01-funded and other NIH-funded SEI researchers; ¿ reduce duplication of research expenses and consolidate resources for NIH-funded SEI researchers; ¿ promote and foster collaborative research interactions among NIH-funded SEI scientists; ¿ enhance the research environment for vision research in the SUNY system generally and at SUNY Downstate Medical Center specifically.
