- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of Rochester $684,914 on July 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to develop human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived retinal tissue models for disease research and cell-based therapeutic applications. The award funds two complementary aims. Aim 1 develops a microphysiological model of comprehensive hiPSC-derived retina that emulates the physiological spherical geometry of the human retina in vivo, suitable for...
- 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 Wisconsin–Madison $249,672 under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) on May 8, 2026, to support a project grant investigating light adaptation in regionally and functionally distinct retinal circuits. The project examines how the primate retina modulates neural response gain and kinetics across changing light conditions, with specific focus on foveal versus peripheral regions and on versus off visual pathways. Aim 1 determines the impact...
- The National Eye Institute, within the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded $122,610 to University of Wisconsin–Madison on December 3, 2025, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to conduct research on synaptic ribbon contributions to retinal circuit function and assembly. The research measures synaptic inputs to on-sustained and off-sustained alpha ganglion cells in a ribbon loss-of-function mouse model to determine whether ribbons regulate...
- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of Washington $622,804 under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) on August 1, 2026, to establish the cellular and molecular basis of the cone optoretinogram and standardize methods for clinical application. The cone optoretinogram measures length changes of individual human cone outer segments at nanometer-millisecond scale in response to light, using adaptive optics and optical coherence tomography. The research aims to develop...
