项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A Core Center Grant is proposed to support vision research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. Investigators in the Department of Ophthalmology recently completed a 5-year infrastructure grant (R24) that supported ocular surface research on our campus. The infrastructure grant was enormously successful and fostered new collaborations and culminated in 69 publications in peer-review journals. We recently received a one-year P30 Core Grant through the ARRA. This unique one-year award has fostered further collaborations among vision researchers from the Departments of Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Physiology, Neuroscience, and the Center for Developmental Biology at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. We have also initiated a number of vision-related projects and seminar series that have enriched vision research activities on this campus. This, along with the acquisition of additional NEl-supported research, prompted us to submit a 5-year P30 Core Grant application to enhance and expand research efforts that rely on three common technologies: 1) tissue culture/hybridoma; 2) imaging; and 3) protein biochemistry and virus-mediated gene transfer. Significant institutional support in the form of additional laboratory space, endowed scholars' awards, and intramural research awards has provided a fertile ground for expansion and enhancement of vision research on our campus. The proposed Core Grant for Vision Research will further this effort and enhance vision research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

描述（由申请人提供）：提议提供核心中心拨款以支持德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的视觉研究。眼科的研究人员最近完成了一项为期 5 年的基础设施拨款 (R24)，支持我们校园的眼表研究。基础设施拨款取得了巨大成功，促进了新的合作，最终在同行评审期刊上发表了 69 篇论文。我们最近通过 ARRA 获得了为期一年的 P30 核心补助金。这个独特的为期一年的奖项促进了来自眼科、精神病学、德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的生理学、神经科学和发育生物学中心。我们还发起了一些与视觉相关的项目和系列研讨会，丰富了本校区的视觉研究活动。这一点，再加上获得 NEl 支持的其他研究，促使我们提交了一份为期 5 年的 P30 核心拨款申请，以加强和扩大依赖三种常见技术的研究工作：1）组织培养/杂交瘤； 2）成像； 3）蛋白质生物化学和病毒介导的基因转移。以额外实验室空间、捐赠学者奖和校内研究奖等形式提供的重要机构支持，为我们校园视觉研究的扩展和加强提供了肥沃的土壤。拟议的视觉研究核心拨款将进一步推动这一努力，并加强德克萨斯大学西南医学中心的视觉研究。
