DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Vision research at the University of Utah engages over 17 faculty members and 50+ supporting staff, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. This proposal for a Vision Research Core Grant will enhance the programs of twelve participating investigators who collectively hold fifteen R01 awards from the National Eye Institute. The Core consists of (1) Imaging, (2) Functional Assessment, and (3) Molecular Biology modules, providing comprehensive resources, training and technical assistance to the programs of the participating investigators. In addition, a novel client-server application (iLab) will provide secure, uniform workflow and data management for all modules, facilitating access, conflict resolution, job scheduling and data tracking. This tool assures data integrity and any dataset can be collaboratively accessed. The Imaging Module will provide: (1) high-resolution optical imaging with high-speed image capture; (2) laser confocal scanning microscopy (LSCM); (3) electron microscopy (EM) with high-resolution digital capture; (4) computational fusion of optical, LSCM, and EM data; (5) ultramicrotomy cryomicrotomy services, including immunocytochemistry; (6) training; (7) resource maintenance; and (8) comprehensive data archiving. The Functional Assessment Module will provide: (1) comprehensive ERG/VEP visual testing; (2) optomotor behavioral tracking; (3) optical imaging of intrinsic CMS signals; (4) optical system calibration; (5) training; (6) resource maintenance; and (8) comprehensive data archiving. The Molecular Biology Module will provide: (1) high-capacity gene sequencing (2) robotics for sample processing; (3) IR imaging of blots and gels; (4) high-capacity ISH screening (5) training; (6) resource maintenance; and (7) comprehensive data archiving. Access to new technologies, training and technical support will facilitate collaborations, allow participating investigators to explore new research avenues and funding opportunities, and enhance the educational experience of graduate students, medical students, interns, residents and postdoctoral fellows.

描述（由申请人提供）：犹他大学的视力研究与17多名教职员工和50多名支持人员，研究生和博士后研究员互动。这项关于视觉研究核心赠款的建议将增强十二位参与调查人员的计划，这些调查人员共同颁发了国家眼科研究所的15个R01奖项。核心包括（1）成像，（2）功能评估和（3）分子生物学模块，为参与研究人员的计划提供全面的资源，培训和技术援助。此外，新颖的客户服务器应用程序（ILAB）将为所有模块提供安全，统一的工作流程和数据管理，促进访问，解决冲突，工作计划和数据跟踪。该工具可以确保数据完整性，并且任何数据集都可以协作访问。成像模块将提供：（1）具有高速图像捕获的高分辨率光学成像； （2）激光共聚焦扫描显微镜（LSCM）； （3）具有高分辨率数字捕获的电子显微镜（EM）； （4）光学，LSCM和EM数据的计算融合； （5）包括免疫细胞化学的超细胞切术冷冻切开术服务； （6）培训； （7）资源维护； （8）综合数据归档。 功能评估模块将提供：（1）全面的ERG/VEP视觉测试； （2）验光行为跟踪； （3）固有CMS信号的光学成像； （4）光学系统校准； （5）培训； （6）资源维护； （8）综合数据归档。 分子生物学模块将提供：（1）高容量的基因测序（2）用于样品处理的机器人技术； （3）印迹和凝胶成像； （4）高容量ISH筛查（5）培训； （6）资源维护； （7）全面数据归档。获得新技术，培训和技术支持将有助于合作，允许参与的研究人员探索新的研究途径和资助机会，并增强研究生，医学生，实习生，居民，居民和博士后研究员的教育经验。
