| The Vanderbilt Vision Research Center (VVRC) promotes high-quality research and training on a wide range of problems in visual science, including: * Acquisition and utilization of visual information * Neural processes underlying visually guided behavior * Molecular mechanisms of visual processing * Comparative anatomy and physiology of visual systems * Development and plasticity of the visual nervous system * Machine vision and image processing * Diagnosis and treatment of vision disorders Six service modules facilitate and enhance vision research efforts on campus. Funding for the center's activities comes from the National Eye Institute (National Institutes of Health), via two mechanisms. A Core Grant provides a cost-effective mechanism for supporting technical, service-oriented needs so that investigators can devote maximal time to individual research activities. An important purpose of the VVRC is to facilitate collaborations among investigators by providing a natural focus of activity and interaction. A Training Grant provides funds for pre-and postdoctoral training in vision. For more information about the Vanderbilt Vision Research Center contact us at:
