The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $227,265 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to the University of California, Berkeley to map human retinal ganglion cell receptive fields and connect light stimulation of individual retinal photoreceptors to retinal ganglion cell activity and visual perception. The primary objectives are to: 1) leverage adaptive optics-stabilized microstimulation of the photoreceptor mosaic to precisely control input to the retina and disentangle the perceptual...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) in the amount of $477,109 to The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to research how the PRDM13 transcriptional regulator gene influences retinal cell development and the formation of photoreceptors. The research aims to further understanding of mammalian retinal development and identify mechanisms by which PRDM13 impacts cell fate determination during a critical window of retinal development....
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $611,546 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) to support a multi-year research project on the neural mechanisms underlying sustained visual perception in humans. The project aims to investigate how attention and awareness affect persistent neural representations of visual stimuli, the structure and information content of brain activity during sustained perceptual experience, and the...
This federal Project Grant award for $624,230, provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under its Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to investigate changes in rod photoreceptor function and retinal remodeling in models of retinal degeneration. The primary objectives are to: 1) document alterations in rod membrane properties, light responses, and connections to bipolar cells as degeneration progresses, and 2) explore the plasticity of photoreceptor signal propagation and...
This $491,466 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) aims to develop a novel, non-invasive, and sensitive diagnostic method to measure retinal dysfunction. The funding supports research at the University of California, San Francisco to expand upon preliminary data showing that measuring a visually-evoked compensatory behavior, the optokinetic reflex (OKR), can detect graded cone loss in mice. The research will focus on developing OKR-inducing stimuli...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded Oakland University a 2-year, $184,117 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to investigate the role of G-Coupled Protein Receptors 31 and 39 (GPR31/GPR39) in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy. The researchers will determine the affinities and specificities of GPR31 and GPR39 for the 12/15-lipoxygenase metabolites 12-HETE and 15-HETE, and examine the effects of GPR31/GPR39 gain-loss-of-function on retinal endothelial cells and Müller cells...
The federal Project Grant award of $248,999 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University supports research to investigate how neuronal synaptic activity and neurotransmitter signaling in the retina influence retinal angiogenesis and the development of the blood-retinal barrier. The project aims to elucidate the mechanisms by which glutamatergic synaptic activity, mediated...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a 5-year, $252,573 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to establish the UCSF Program in Resident Opportunities for Mentored Ophthalmic Training in Experimentation (PROMOTE). The key objectives of this grant are to: Attract, recruit, and retain diverse and talented resident-investigators from ophthalmology and optometry to the clinician-scientist pathway; Mentor and train these...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $414,711 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to Albert Einstein College of Medicine to establish and utilize a microphysiological system for elucidating the mechanisms underlying early optic disc and stalk development, retinal ganglion cell (RGC) differentiation, axon growth, and pathfinding in human development and the pathogenesis of blinding retinal diseases. The project aims to dissect the mechanisms underlying the specification and...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) has awarded a $144,362 Project Grant under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. The award, effective September 1, 2024 through February 28, 2027, will support research to investigate the role of hyperglycemia and hyperinsulinemia in the breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier, which is a leading cause of diabetic retinopathy and preventable blindness. The...
