Project Grant P30EY037668
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides funding to researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to study the neural mechanisms underlying visual processing and behavior after photoreceptor degeneration. The $237,588 award, spanning June 2025 through December 2027, will leverage the vertical optokinetic reflex (OKR) - a visual behavior that tracks global motion - to investigate how cone degeneration disrupts noise...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $451,000 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to conduct a multimodal characterization of a novel inherited mouse model of glaucoma. The research aims to evaluate structural and functional changes in the mouse model, including axonal degeneration, retinal ganglion cell loss, dendritic changes, and neuroinflammatory responses. It will also identify...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI), under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, awarded a $606,092 Project Grant through the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley). The grant, awarded on January 1, 2025, supports a 4-year research project to investigate the development of the preferred retinal locus (PRL) in individuals with central vision loss due to macular diseases...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) was awarded a $609,876 Project Grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to conduct research on data-efficient natural image reconstruction to advance visual neuroscience. The award period runs from September 15, 2025 to September 14, 2027. The project aims to develop innovative computational methods and models to better understand neural mechanisms underlying human visual...
- This $240,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) aims to investigate the role of neural-glial-vascular signaling in the development of the eye's vasculature. The research has two main objectives: 1) Characterizing vasculature development and how it is altered in mice with modified retinal waves, using quantitative approaches and live imaging, and 2) Establishing the maturation of the glial-vascular unit through immunofluorescence...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports the development of a novel, noninvasive, and sensitive diagnostic method to measure retinal dysfunction. The $491,466 award will fund research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to create a scalable diagnostic tool that can detect the earliest signs of retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy and retinitis pigmentosa,...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $124,205 project grant to The Regents of the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to investigate how the hippocampus and primary visual cortex interact to generate coordinated mental simulations during active behavior. The project aims to use innovative neural recording tools and advanced algorithms to study the neural mechanisms underlying the ability to recall memories and imagine future scenarios, which can be disrupted in conditions like...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the federal Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), provides $247,387 to Stanford University to establish a comprehensive strategy for recruiting, training, and retaining clinician-scientists in ophthalmology research. The overarching objectives are to educate and develop the next generation of clinician-scientists focused on vision-related diseases and disorders, and to enhance research capabilities within ophthalmology...
- This $437,250 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) aims to develop an integrated platform that combines 3D bioprinting, optogenetic stimulation, multi-electrode array (MEA) recording, and real-time fluorescence imaging to create a "visual-circuit-on-a-chip" for evaluating neural activity in stem cell-derived retinal disease models. The project, awarded to the University of California, San Diego, seeks to address...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) provides $179,964 to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to develop innovative biomarkers for optic neuropathies using deep learning-based analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imagery. The project aims to overcome limitations of current OCT-based diagnostics by employing advanced computational techniques like deep learning, neural fields, and geometric modeling to enhance the...
This National Eye Institute (NEI) P30 Core Grant for Vision Research, with a total funding of $699,202, supports a comprehensive vision research program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from September 17, 2025 to June 30, 2029. The grant objectives are to advance the study of the visual system's structure, development, and function in both healthy and diseased states, with the ultimate goal of preventing, alleviating, or curing vision-related diseases and restoring lost vision. This will be achieved through three research and service modules: 1) the Ocular Structure and Function (OSF) module for ocular phenotyping and prototyping, 2) the Advanced Imaging and Analysis (AIA) module for high-resolution cellular imaging and analysis, and 3) the Vision Bioinformatics & Computation (VBC) module for supporting genomics data analysis and custom software development. The grant aims to provide UCSF researchers and the broader vision research community with essential tools, techniques, and computational resources to drive innovative research and clinical applications in ophthalmology and neuroscience.
