DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This P30 proposal is a request for partial funding to cover costs for core resource modules supporting research within the Miami Center for Vision Research (MCVR), the umbrella component of the Evelyn F. and William L. McKnight Vision Research Center, University of Miami School of Medicine. The modules are: Biostatistics, and Equipment. Most of the module space is located within the eight-story McKnight building. This building houses laboratory research activities of the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, which serves as the Department of Ophthalmology for the University. Additional space is located in the adjacent Rosenstiel building, which is connected to McKnight by a sky bridge. The MCVR currently comprises the research activities of 67 faculty level scientists, physicians, and optometrists who direct or collaborate in laboratory or clinical programs in eye and vision research at the University of Miami School of Medicine. This includes 20 NEI-funded Principal Investigators who hold a total of 29 NEI grants. In addition, 10 new NEI grant applications are currently under review and 10 more are in the preparation stage. Most of the MCVR investigators hold primary appointments in the Department of Ophthalmology, but there are representatives from several other departments, as well as one investigator from a neighboring institution. Major scientific disciplines represented in this group include biochemistry, bioengineering, biophysics, biostatistics, biotechnology, cell biology, developmental biology, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, molecular biology, neurobiology, and pharmacology. All of the major categories of eye biology and disease recognized by the National Eye Institute in its current five year plan are addressed by the research of this group. Research concentrations exist in the following eight areas: 1. developmental genetics & reparative processes, 2. regenerative biology and molecular/cellular therapeutics, 3. vascular biology, 4. visual processes, 5. engineering in the eye, 6. imaging technologies, 7. surgery & treatment modalities; clinical trials & clinical outcomes, and 8. epidemiology & public health.

描述（由申请人提供）：本 P30 提案请求部分资助，以支付支持迈阿密视觉研究中心 (MCVR) 内研究的核心资源模块的费用，该中心是 Evelyn F. 和 William L. McKnight 视觉研究中心的总括组成部分迈阿密大学医学院研究中心。这些模块是：生物统计学和设备。大部分模块空间位于八层的麦克奈特大楼内。该建筑是巴斯科姆帕尔默眼科研究所的实验室研究活动场所，该研究所是该大学的眼科系。额外的空间位于邻近的罗森斯蒂尔大楼，该大楼通过天桥与麦克奈特相连。 MCVR 目前由 67 名教员级科学家、医生和验光师组成，他们在迈阿密大学医学院的眼科和视力研究实验室或临床项目中进行指导或合作。其中包括 20 名 NEI 资助的首席研究员，他们总共拥有 29 项 NEI 资助。此外，目前正在审查 10 项新的 NEI 拨款申请，另有 10 项正处于准备阶段。 大多数 MCVR 调查员在眼科担任主要职务，但也有来自其他几个科室的代表，以及来自邻近机构的一名调查员。 该组代表的主要科学学科包括生物化学、生物工程、生物物理学、生物统计学、生物技术、细胞生物学、发育生物学、流行病学、遗传学、免疫学、分子生物学、神经生物学和药理学。该小组的研究涉及国家眼科研究所在其当前五年计划中认可的所有主要眼生物学和疾病类别。研究集中于以下八个领域： 1. 发育遗传学和修复过程， 2. 再生生物学和分子/细胞治疗， 3. 血管生物学， 4. 视觉过程， 5. 眼部工程， 6. 成像技术， 7 . 手术和治疗方式；临床试验和临床结果，以及 8. 流行病学和公共卫生。
