This federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), will support research to investigate the genetic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying retinal development and vision disorders. The total funding amount is $1,241,223, with a project period from September 1, 2024 to March 31, 2029. The research aims to provide a deep understanding of the chromatin-based regulatory mechanisms that govern retinal transcription programs...
This $477,109.00 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the NIH's Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867) supports research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to investigate how the PRDM13 transcriptional regulator controls retinal cell fate determination and photoreceptor development. The goal is to better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying retinal degeneration, with the potential to inform future clinical therapies for preserving...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $388,750 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to The Washington University in St. Louis. The five-year grant, effective August 1, 2024, will fund research to investigate the role of the histone variant H3.3 in retinal cell fate specification and differentiation. The research aims to complete a full phenotypic characterization of retinal development upon loss of H3.3 from retinal progenitors and post-mitotic neurons, as well as...
This $606,034 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to investigate the role of Müller glia cells in the acute and chronic inflammatory response in the retina under various stress, injury, and disease conditions. The research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms that maintain retinal homeostasis and how those mechanisms are disrupted during acute and...
This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), provides $146,922 to The Johns Hopkins University to conduct research on understanding the chromatin architectural landscape of retinal development at the single-cell level. The key objectives of this research project are to: 1) Capture the 3D chromatin interactions of mouse retinal cells at key developmental stages using single-cell Hi-C (SCHI-C) technology adapted...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Washington University in St. Louis provides $480,376 to support research on the regulation of retinal development by RNA molecules. The project aims to investigate the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in controlling retinal gene regulatory networks, including through interactions with transcription factors. Key research activities include utilizing gain-of-function and loss-of-function...
The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $125,916 Project Grant (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to the University of California, Davis to study the transcriptional and developmental basis of an X-linked homeotic hotspot associated with bilateral anophthalmia (missing eye globes) and XX sex reversal syndrome. The research will leverage in vitro analysis of patient-derived blood cells and induced pluripotent stem cells, as well as in vivo characterization of a mouse model, to investigate the...
This is a Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), in the amount of $249,000.00. The grant will fund research to investigate the molecular mechanisms that regulate the expression of phototransduction genes in mammalian rod photoreceptors. The research aims to elucidate how transcriptional elongation and mRNA processing are coupled to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of mRNA maturation, and how defects in these...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), supports research to investigate the development and connectivity of starburst amacrine cells in human retinal organoids. The $147,486 award to The Johns Hopkins University aims to: 1) establish a timeline of starburst amacrine cell birth and subtype generation in human retinal organoids, 2) assess the role of transcription factors ISL1 and FEZF1 in starburst amacrine cell...
This is a Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867). The $451,000 award supports research by the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center to investigate the role of the FIC enzyme in regulating the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the mammalian retina. Specifically, the project aims to determine if FIC-mediated modification of the BIP protein can modulate UPR activation,...
