- The National Eye Institute awarded the Regents of the University of Michigan $342,349 on August 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate the computational and neural mechanisms of visuocognitive adaptation. The research examines how the brain adaptively modulates visual and cognitive processes in response to environmental changes, fatigue, injury, and disease. The project tests whether error-based adaptation in spatial working memory and eye movements shares...
- The National Eye Institute, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $624,743 to the Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, on May 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867). The award funds research into the function and regulation of constitutive prostaglandin D2 and DP receptor signaling in retinal health and neurodegeneration. The research investigates the physiological and...
- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of Pennsylvania $674,423 on September 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate the role of retinal microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) in vision and lipid homeostasis. The research examines how MTP regulates the assembly and secretion of apoprotein B-containing lipoproteins in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), which transport lipids and prevent pathologic lipid accumulation linked to retinal...
- The National Eye Institute, part of the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded $458,288 to the University of Washington on May 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867, Assistance Listing designation Project Grant). The award funds research into stimulation of regeneration in the human retina. The investigator team will test whether expressing the proneural regulatory gene ASCL1 in Müller glia can induce regeneration of retinal neurons in human tissue and adult non-human...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The University of Chicago $582,115 on September 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate the role of lens connexins, cellular stress, and ionic imbalance in cataract formation. The research will define pathogenic mechanisms linking disruption of lens ionic homeostasis and formation of calcium-containing deposits to cataract development. The project utilizes human lens material, mutant mouse models, and in vitro systems to...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $248,737 on June 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to support research on the role of mitochondrial and autophagy dysfunction in regulating inflammatory processes during age-related macular degeneration pathogenesis.

- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of Rochester a $2,215,463 cooperative agreement on March 17, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to develop small molecule PROTAC compounds targeting secretory phospholipase A2-IIA (SPLA2-IIA) for treatment of age-related macular degeneration and related macular dystrophies. The award funds development of proteolysis-targeting chimera compounds designed to induce degradation of SPLA2-IIA, a pro-inflammatory enzyme identified...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The University of Iowa $440,263 on May 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate osmotic regulation in cone dystrophy with supernormal rod response (CDSRR), a rare inherited retinal disease causing progressive vision loss beginning in early childhood. The project uses state-of-the-art imaging biomarkers and transcriptomics to evaluate osmotic regulation in mouse models of CDSRR, a disease caused by mutations in the KV2.1/KV8.2...
- The National Eye Institute awarded Baylor College of Medicine $1.6 million on September 30, 2025, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to conduct basic research on Hippo and Wnt pathway regulation of mammalian Müller glial cell reprogramming and proliferation as a strategy for retinal regeneration in glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and traumatic retinal injury. The research employs genetic loss- and gain-of-function experiments, fate mapping, and single-cell...
- 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.
