# NEI CENTER CORE GRANT FOR VISION RESEARCH

> **NIH NIH P30** · CLEVELAND CLINIC LERNER COM-CWRU · 2020 · $634,000

## Abstract

The overall aim of this NEI Core Grant for Vision Research is to facilitate the application
of important technologies in the analysis of the structure, function and disease
mechanisms that affect the visual system. The long-term goal of the investigators served
by this grant is to preventing blindness and restoring vision. To this end we will develop
a series of core modules that will provide state-of-the-art instrumentation and
technologies required for vision research. The three core modules are: (1) Ocular
Imaging Module; (2) Functional Vision Module; and (3) Molecular Informatics Module.
These modules contain equipment that will be maintained and operated by highly skilled
technicians that are supervised by established R01 funded investigators. Consolidating
these technologies into these modules allow us to bring these techniques and skills to all
potential users in our program, which we anticipate will increase productivity in the user
laboratories and avoid duplication of equipment and effort. Successful operation of these
three modules will bring the best of these technologies to each of the NEI RO1
supported laboratories in this institution. We also envision that these core modules will
enhance and sustain the collaborative scientific environment that is a strong feature of
the research group supported by these modules. The modules will also enhance
productivity and increase collaboration among the participating investigators. These
modules will also allow junior investigators to have access to services and research
strategies that will help generate preliminary data to support new RO1 application.
