- This National Eye Institute (NEI) P30 Core Grant for Vision Research, with a total funding of $699,202, supports a comprehensive vision research program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from September 17, 2025 to June 30, 2029. The grant objectives are to advance the study of the visual system's structure, development, and function in both healthy and diseased states, with the ultimate goal of preventing, alleviating, or curing vision-related diseases and restoring lost...
- This federal Project Grant award of $123,794 from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research to reveal the fundamental mechanisms of visual selective attention. The principal investigator at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) will leverage an invertebrate model system to identify the neural components and computations underlying object detection and saccadic control pathways. These studies aim to further the understanding of simple...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides funding to researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) to study the neural mechanisms underlying visual processing and behavior after photoreceptor degeneration. The $237,588 award, spanning June 2025 through December 2027, will leverage the vertical optokinetic reflex (OKR) - a visual behavior that tracks global motion - to investigate how cone degeneration disrupts noise...
- This $580,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Information and Intelligent Systems will fund research to develop more biologically realistic computational models of the primate visual system. Awarded under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070), the grant supports work at the University of California, San Diego from September 15, 2022 to August 31, 2025. The research aims to incorporate key features of human vision missing from...
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $127,785 to the University of California, San Diego to conduct research on the neural mechanisms underlying active vision in freely moving marmoset monkeys. The research aims to investigate how the primate visual system, including brain regions like the primary visual cortex (V1), visual area V4, and frontal eye field (FEF), supports visual processing and attention during natural exploratory...
- The University of California, Santa Barbara was awarded a $1,564,568 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Emerging Frontiers under the Biological Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.074) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024. The grant will support the collaborative research project "Epigenetics in Development and Evolution of Primate Brains," which aims to advance understanding of major problems in biological sciences through...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $947,018 to the University of California, San Diego to support research on the role of pupillary and oculomotor measures in aligning internal goals with perceptual processing. The project, titled "Pupillary Working Memory for Adaptive Perception," aims to investigate how peripheral nervous system and sensorimotor mechanisms, such as pupil size changes and eye movements, may serve a...
- This $240,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) aims to investigate the role of neural-glial-vascular signaling in the development of the eye's vasculature. The research has two main objectives: 1) Characterizing vasculature development and how it is altered in mice with modified retinal waves, using quantitative approaches and live imaging, and 2) Establishing the maturation of the glial-vascular unit through immunofluorescence...
- This $688,882 Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) supports a multidisciplinary research project on the neuronal computations underlying rapid and flexible visual categorical decision-making in humans. The project employs a combination of large-scale neuronal population recording techniques and theoretical modeling to investigate the coordinated activity within and between brain regions like the posterior parietal...
The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) was awarded a $609,876 Project Grant from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) to conduct research on data-efficient natural image reconstruction to advance visual neuroscience.
