- This Project Grant award of $864,040 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) will fund research to develop and test an intraocular projection system that can be implanted in the eye to restore vision for patients with severe corneal injury or damage. The award supports three key objectives: 1) implanting 25 dummy intraocular lenticule implants of varying weights in rabbits to identify weight limits before instability, 2) implanting 25 semi-active lenticule implants in...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.084 - NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program) provides $275,000 in funding to Enchroma Inc. to develop a novel contact lens that can assist individuals with color vision deficiency. The project aims to embed narrow-band hydrophobic dyes into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) contact lens material to spectrally modify light reaching the eye and improve color recognition for those with hereditary or acquired color...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $597,232 to the University of Illinois for a research project titled "Intrinsic Signal Optoretinography of Retinal Neurovascular Defects in Neurodegeneration". The goal is to develop a new imaging technique called "intrinsic signal optoretinography" that can detect early signs of Alzheimer's disease in the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, before...
- The National Science Foundation (CFDA 47.041 - Engineering) awarded a $600,000 CAREER project grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to create an integrated platform for understanding neurodegeneration in glaucoma blindness. The 5-year project aims to develop innovative tools to study how glaucoma affects the nerve cells in the eye and explore ways to detect and treat the disease earlier. Key components include: An injectable microbead-based in vivo...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award, under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084), provides $275,000 to Envision Health Technologies Inc. to develop a novel adaptive perimetry software solution for the early detection and monitoring of vision loss due to glaucoma. The project aims to create a fully automated adaptive perimetry test that combines the standardization of static automated perimetry (SAP)...
- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program totaling $100,000 aims to develop a computational solution to evaluate optic nerve function. Specifically, the University of Nevada, Reno will use the funding to potentially create an affordable, convenient head-mounted display capable of remotely and routinely assessing the health of the optic nerve through afferent pupillary defect tests. This screening tool may allow doctors, including...
- This $421,136 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports research at the University of Maryland, College Park to develop advanced wavefront shaping techniques for improving optical imaging through ocular opacities. The key objective is to demonstrate that neural network-based wavefront shaping can effectively correct optical aberrations caused by corneal and lens opacities, enabling high-resolution fundus imaging in patients where...
- This $673,747 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) supports a research initiative at New York University School of Medicine to develop a novel visible-to-near-infrared optical coherence tomography (OCT) system for high-resolution retinal imaging. The project aims to quantify retinal biomarkers like macular pigments and retinal pigment epithelium melanosomes that are important indicators of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression, with the...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) provides $1,765,704 to Trustees of Boston University to develop an injectable optoacoustic retina prosthesis for high-precision retinal stimulation. The project aims to create a minimally invasive, soft, and biocompatible optoacoustic material that can be injected into targeted areas of the retina and stimulate it with micrometer-scale spatial resolution. The research team, led by Prof. Chen Yang, will develop...
- This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) will provide $547,117 to Trustees of Tufts College from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2030. The project aims to develop a platform for scalable, nanoscale wavefront shaping using multimode photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This will enable the use of light in the visible wavelength range for optical interfaces and control of information from cells, atoms, and ions. The research will address challenges...
