The mission of the Center for Visual and Neurocognitive Rehabilitation (CVNR) is to improve health and quality of life in Veterans with visual and cognitive disorders by engaging an alliance of researchers and clinicians to advance evidence-based rehabilitation. For the past 35 years, CVNR research has dynamically advanced, following emerging science through a primary focus on aging (1986 – 1998), vision/aging (1998-2012), and visual and cognition (2012-present). CVNR capacity nearly doubled in this funding cycle. We aim to expand the impact of VA science and VA research investment (currently, more than 18-fold return on Center dollars compared to VA and other grants received). Over 30% of CVNR scientists are full Professors at Tier 1 institutions. In addition, the CVNR is rapidly building research capacity with 25% of CVNR members career development awardees (CDAs). Former CDA researchers from 2018- present continued in academic positions, >90% in the VA. The CVNR has three strategic research themes: Restoring eye and brain function, Exercise to improve function, and Neuro-biomarkers for personalized rehabilitation. The synergy of visual and cognitive rehabilitation science across the strategic research themes reveals common core principles for use across neurorehabilitation and supports CVNR investigators to rapidly define elements that are necessary to build personalized Veteran rehabilitation. Aligned with the VA Research Mission, the three CVNR strategic research themes span the translational continuum from preclinical, clinical research, and clinical practice research. In this cycle, through intentional activities that promote the investigators at all career development levels within the strategic research themes, the CVNR will analyze the progress of scientific projects and plan how to advance the research findings to real-life utilization in VA clinics. By setting goals and milestones in translation and implementation, and integrating self-evaluation and quality control, the CVNR will build upon past success and continuously increase the impact on Veteran clinical services, as well as the direct response to Veteran and caregiver needs. CVNR Executive Director A.M. Barrett, MD, who brought research treatments developed in her laboratory to current use in VA healthcare, takes responsibility with Executive Associate Director, Machelle Pardue, PhD to lead alignment of strategic planning and operational decision-making. Director of Scientific Programs, Joe Nocera, PhD, has an expanded role in this cycle to lead scientific project development in the three strategic research themes through meetings, retreats and self-evaluation. Five Cores provide services to investigators and steward resources: Neuroimaging (Director, Bruce Crosson, PhD); Molecular Biology (Director, Jeff Boatright, PhD); Physical Exercise (Director, Joe Nocera, PhD); and an Administrative Core, (Director and CVNR Administrator Officer, Lisa Calas). The Connectivity Core (Director, Amy Rodriguez, PhD) has been added in this cycle to advance Veteran and VA clinician engagement, link the CVNR to VA clinical service lines, provide a broad path for Veteran research participation, and integrate the continued, impactful work of the Outreach and Education Committee (Co-Chairs, Madeleine Hackney, PhD and Todd White, PhD). The CVNR has strong ties with local affiliates, including Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Morehouse School of Medicine, and Georgia State University. Capacity building is strengthened by collaborating with the Atlanta VA /Morehouse School of Medicine Historic Black Colleges and Universities Research Scientist Training Program, integrating feedback and advice of our Atlanta Advisory Board and National Advisory Board, and aligning with the network of specialized scientists at VA RRD Centers, the VA Birmingham-Atlanta GRECC, the VA HEROIC HSRD Center for Innovation (Charleston, SC), and the VA Technology Transfer Office (ATL Technology Transfer Officer, Brandy Wade, PhD), as well as Veterans, other consumer groups, and the community. The CVNR is poised to continue impactful research to improve Veteran health.

视觉和神经认知康复中心（CVNR）的任务是改善健康状况 通过与视觉和认知障碍的退伍军人的生活质量通过参与 研究人员和临床医生可以提高基于证据的康复。在过去的35年中，CVNR 研究通过对衰老的主要重点进行了新兴科学的动态发展（1986 - 1998年），视觉/老化（1998-2012）和视觉与认知（2012年至今）。 CVNR容量几乎翻了一番 这个资金周期。我们旨在扩大VA科学和VA研究投资的影响（目前，更多 与VA和其他收到的赠款相比，中央美元的回报率超过18倍。超过30％的CVNR 科学家是第1级机构的正式教授。此外，CVNR正在迅速建立研究能力 CVNR成员职业发展获奖者（CDA）中有25％。 2018年以前的CDA研究人员 - 目前继续担任学术职位，在VA中> 90％。 CVNR具有三个战略研究主题： 恢复眼睛和大脑功能，锻炼以提高功能以及个性化的神经生物标志物 康复。战略研究主题的视觉和认知康复科学的协同作用 揭示了跨神经居住使用的通用核心原则，并支持CVNR研究者快速 定义建立个性化退伍军人康复所必需的要素。与VA研究保持一致 任务，三个CVNR战略研究主题涵盖了临床前临床的转化连续性 研究和临床实践研究。在这个周期中，通过有意的活动来促进 战略研究主题中所有职业发展水平的研究人员，CVNR将分析 科学项目的进展并计划如何将研究结果推广到VA中的现实利用率 诊所。通过在翻译和实施中设定目标和里程碑，并整合自我评估和 质量控制，CVNR将基于过去的成功并不断增加对退伍军人的影响 临床服务以及对退伍军人和照料者需求的直接反应。 CVNR执行董事 是。马里兰州巴雷特（Barrett），将其实验室中开发的研究治疗带到了VA中的当前使用 医疗保健，与博士Machelle Pardue执行副主任负责领导 战略规划和运营决策。科学计划主任乔·诺塞拉（Joe Nocera）博士拥有 在这一周期中扩大角色，以领导科学项目开发​​在三个战略研究主题中 通过会议，务虚会和自我评估。五个核心为调查人员和管家提供服务 资源：神经影像学（Bruce Crosson，博士学位）；分子生物学（Jeff Boatright博士主任）； 体育锻炼（乔·诺塞拉（Joe Nocera），博士学位）；和管理核心（主管和CVNR管理员 丽莎·卡拉斯（Lisa Calas）军官）。连接性核心（主任，艾米·罗德里格斯（Amy Rodriguez），博士）已在此周期中添加 先进的老将和VA临床参与，将CVNR与VA临床服务线联系起来，提供了广泛的 退伍军人研究参与的途径，并融合了外展活动的持续，有影响力的工作 教育委员会（联合主席，玛德琳·哈克尼（Madeleine Hackney），博士和托德·怀特（Todd White），博士学位）。 CVNR有牢固的联系 与当地分支机构，包括埃默里大学，佐治亚理工学院，莫尔豪斯学校 医学和佐治亚州立大学。通过与亚特兰大合作来加强能力建设 VA /Morehouse医学学院历史悠久的黑人学院研究科学家培训 计划，整合亚特兰大顾问委员会和国家顾问委员会的反馈和建议，以及 与VA RRD中心的专业科学家网络保持一致 VA英勇的HSRD创新中心（南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿）和VA技术转移办公室（ATL Brandy Wade，PhD）以及退伍军人，其他消费者团体以及 社区。 CVNR被中毒以继续有影响力的研究以改善退伍军人健康。
