About this grant
The goal of these institutional Center Core Grants is to build research infrastructure within an institution for the purpose of providing technical support to groups of NEI R01-funded investigators. The NEI Center Core Grant combines three or more Resource and/or Service Cores for a group of R01 investigators to enhance their research, consolidate resources, avoid duplication of efforts, and/or contribute to cost effectiveness by providing a service with lower costs or higher quality than could be attempted for independent projects by several individual Program Directors/Principal Investigators (PD(s)/PI(s)). Shared resources and facilities that are accessible to a group of independently funded investigators lead to greater productivity for the separate projects and can provide instrumentation and facilities that are too costly to be maintained by an individual investigator. The design and purpose of each Center Core may vary in how it serves its users. This program is designed to enhance an institution's environment and capability to conduct vision research and to facilitate collaborative studies of the visual system and its disorders and promote new research within the NEI mission and Strategic Plan. Grants are required to have an administrative core and three or more resource and/or service cores. Any researcher at the institute can use the core facilities.
