项目摘要

ABSTRACT The Vision Research Group at The University of Texas in Houston (UT) has significant strength in the areas of Visual Neuroscience, Molecular Genetics, and Visual System Development. Core Grant support is requested for an Administrative Module and 3 service Modules, which reflect the breadth of these interests: an Imaging Module, a Molecular Resources and Services Module, and a Biostatistics and Computation Module. These Modules will provide expertise, research opportunities and infrastructure beyond the reach of individual faculty members. Core Grant support will encourage collaboration and support pilot projects leading to new research programs. Vision Research has been identified as an area for investment and development at UT and we provide documented evidence of institutional commitment to support our research effort. Specifically, the administration has provided funds to purchase a new confocal microscope (Zeiss LSM800 with Airyscan) to upgrade the Vision Core Imaging Module. Thus, significant resources, personnel and laboratory space have been committed to the Vision Research Group, a faculty group that crosses departmental lines. The Vision Research Group currently holds 8 qualifying NEI-supported R01s. In the last year, we recruited 2 new faculty members. Our new recruits were attracted, in part, by the outstanding facilities supported by the Vision Core Grant. In total, the Vision Research Group now consists of 15 vision scientists from the McGovern Medical School, the School of Public Health and the UT M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. The members of the Vision Research Group receive approximately $4.4M (direct costs) of research funds annually. In 2015/16, the Vision Research Group received almost $3.8M in institutional support for salaries, new faculty and equipment. With the continued support of the Vision Core Grant, a further period of growth and innovative research may be expected for the Vision Research Group at UT.

抽象的德克萨斯大学休斯顿分校 (UT) 的视觉研究小组在以下领域拥有强大的实力：视觉神经科学、分子遗传学和视觉系统开发。请求核心拨款支持一个管理模块和 3 个服务模块，反映了这些兴趣的广度：一个成像模块、分子资源和服务模块以及生物统计和计算模块。这些模块将提供超出个人能力范围的专业知识、研究机会和基础设施教职人员。核心拨款支持将鼓励合作并支持试点项目，从而产生新的成果研究计划。视觉研究已被确定为 UT 的投资和发展领域我们提供机构承诺的书面证据来支持我们的研究工作。具体来说，政府已提供资金购买新的共焦显微镜（配备 Airyscan 的 Zeiss LSM800）升级Vision Core成像模块。因此，大量的资源、人员和实验室空间致力于视觉研究小组，这是一个跨部门的教员小组。愿景研究小组目前拥有 8 个 NEI 支持的合格 R01。去年，我们招聘了2名新教师成员。我们的新员工在一定程度上被 Vision Core 支持的出色设施所吸引授予。视觉研究小组现在总共由来自麦戈文医学中心的 15 名视觉科学家组成学校、公共卫生学院和 UT M.D. 安德森癌症中心。愿景成员研究小组每年收到约 440 万美元（直接成本）的研究经费。 2015/16 年愿景研究小组获得了近 380 万美元的机构支持，用于工资、新师资和设备。和愿景核心拨款的持续支持，可能会带来进一步的增长和创新研究预计将由 UT 的视觉研究小组负责。
