DESCRIPTION: (Applicant's Abstract) This proposal presents a plan to provide ongoing and stable funding for three high-quality and productive vision-research service Modules: Instrument Design, Research Computer Programming, and Biostatistics. These Modules are run by three exceptionally talented principles who have from 3 to 10 years of experience in our Core Center for Vision Research. These Modules provide needed research services to a present group of 22 Core Center vision scientists from 5 departments of the University of Houston (Biochemistry, Biology, Biophysical Sciences, Electrical Engineering, and Optometry). These Core vision scientists have diverse training and research interests; they collaborate effectively with each other, as well as with some 85 other vision researchers at this University and at other institutions. Together, our 22 Core Center investigators receive direct research funding of about $2.6 million annually. An additional $1.2 million is provided annually by the College in support of their vision research. During the past 5 years of P30 funding at this University, the Core Center has created an unusually favorable vision-research environment that has directly contributed to 125 published papers and culminated in the recruitment of 11 new vision investigators, 7 of whom currently have NIH funding, including 3 who have NEI funding. These accomplishments reflect our Core Center's previous and current aims that focus on: stable funding, quality research services, collaborative research, innovative research, new vision researchers, and pilot projects converting into NIH and NEI support. Especially emphasized in the coming 5 years will be innovate research (such as functional magnetic resonance imaging) and recruitment of vision researchers to fill our current 3 open positions, as well as other positions in the future. Our vision researchers and Module principals are a finely tuned team.

描述：（申请人的摘要）该提案提出了一项计划 为三个高质量和富有成效的项目提供持续和稳定的资金 视觉研究服务模块：仪器设计、研究计算机 编程和生物统计学。这些模块由三个运行 拥有 3 至 10 年工作经验的杰出人才 在我们的视觉研究核心中心拥有丰富的经验。这些模块提供 现有 22 个核心中心愿景所需的研究服务 来自休斯顿大学 5 个系的科学家（生物化学、 生物学、生物物理科学、电气工程和验光）。 这些核心视觉科学家有不同的培训和研究兴趣； 他们彼此之间以及与大约 85 这所大学和其他机构的其他视觉研究人员。 我们的 22 名核心中心研究人员共同获得直接研究资助 每年约260万美元。额外提供 120 万美元 学院每年都会资助他们的视力研究。 在这所大学过去 5 年的 P30 资助中，核心中心 创造了一个异常有利的视觉研究环境 直接贡献了 125 篇发表论文，并最终获得 招募 11 名新视觉研究人员，其中 7 人目前在 NIH 资助，其中 3 人获得 NEI 资助。 这些成就反映了我们核心中心以前和当前的目标 重点关注：稳定的资金、优质的研究服务、协作 研究、创新研究、新视野研究人员和试点项目 转换为 NIH 和 NEI 支持。今后特别强调 5年将是创新研究（如功能磁共振 成像）并招募视觉研究人员来填补我们当前的 3 个空缺 职位，以及未来的其他职位。我们的愿景 研究人员和模块负责人是一个精心调整的团队。
