# P30 Core Grant for Vision Research

> **NIH NIH P30** · MASSACHUSETTS EYE AND EAR INFIRMARY · 2024 · $670,796

## Abstract

The Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE) is an internationally-recognized leading institution for
academic ophthalmology and vision research. MEE is the primary institution for the Department of
Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School, one of the largest academic departments of
Ophthalmology world-wide. The overall purpose of this P30 Center Core Grant for Vision Research is
to enhance the research capabilities at MEE by providing resources that would not otherwise be
available to investigators who are PIs of NEl-funded R01s. The Core resources have increased
research productivity, supported collaborative research, supported young investigators and have
contributed to successful faculty recruitment. Through collaboration with MEE vision scientists new
faculty have been attracted to vision research. This P30 competing renewal requests funds to support
three resource cores: Genomics, (Eric Pierce director), will provide access to state-of-the-art genomic
resources; BioBank, (Janey Wiggs, director) will support the processing and storage of patient-related
samples and provide support for linking patient material with genomic and clinical data; Bioinformatics
and statistics (Ayellet Segre, director) will provide resources and support for a variety of
bioinformatics and statistical analyses including analysis of next generation sequence data, genetic
associations, power calculations and analysis of gene expression data. These resources form the
basis of an integrated research plan that enhances the research capabilities at MEE and in particular
supports the clinical translation of basic science discoveries. The overall goal of the core facilities is to
enhance the productivity of individual research programs, create opportunities for new research
endeavors, and promote collaborative efforts in identifying the molecular, cellular and genetic bases
of biological and disease processes
