- The National Eye Institute awarded The Johns Hopkins University $624,689 under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) on September 1, 2026, to develop machine learning-driven peptide engineering for sustained intraocular pressure lowering in glaucoma treatment. The research applies artificial intelligence methodology adapted from the super learning approach to engineer multifunctional peptides that bind to melanin, enter cells efficiently, and exhibit low cytotoxicity. High-throughput...
- The National Eye Institute of the Department of Health and Human Services awarded $571,206 to the University of Maryland, Baltimore on May 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to develop, refine, and validate sensitive and robust adaptive optics-optical coherence tomography (AO-OCT) biomarkers for glaucoma detection and progression monitoring. The project addresses the need for earlier detection of glaucoma progression and mechanistically relevant biomarkers to support...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Washington University $427,625 under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) on April 1, 2026, to develop novel statistical methodologies for detecting visual field progression in primary open-angle glaucoma using data from the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study. The project delivers three core products: a change-point model for mean deviation progression that integrates longitudinal measures with time-to-detectable-change to identify early disease...
- Federal Grant Award Summary Johns Hopkins University received a $621,250 Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) on September 15, 2025, with a completion date of August 31, 2027.

- The National Eye Institute awarded The Schepens Eye Research Institute $858,394 on August 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to develop multimodal foundation models for eye disease screening and prognosis. The research develops a vision-language foundation model trained on pairs of retinal images and clinical notes to enable downstream supervised models for detection and progression prediction of age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. The...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Johns Hopkins University $698,999 on July 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to conduct research on mechanisms of functional retinal engraftment by transplanted retinal ganglion cells for optic neuropathies including glaucoma. The project addresses the death of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs), which transmit visual information from the eye to the brain. While existing treatments slow vision loss in some progressive optic neuropathies, no...
