- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Washington received a $345,086 Project Grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), effective June 1, 2025 through March 15, 2028. The research investigates the roles of parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) neurons in primate cortical visual processing, with a focus on determining whether these inhibitory neurons mediate gain control—the neural mechanism that adjusts sensory sensitivity to maintain firing rates...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The University of Washington received a $503,525 Project Grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) for the period May 1, 2026 through April 30, 2028. The research project, titled "Direction-Specific Processing in the Cerebellar Oculomotor Vermis During Saccades," will deliver fundamental neuroscience research aimed at understanding how the cerebellum processes motor signals to regulate precise eye...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867), awarded The Johns Hopkins University a $695,018 Project Grant effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2030, to conduct research on the regulation of retinal ganglion cell regeneration through Müller glia (MG) cell function. The award supports a five-year investigation into how MG cells function as injury-responsive stem cells to enable retinal regeneration, with the ultimate goal...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded the University of Washington a $699,739 Project Grant effective August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2030, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867).
