- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of Rochester $333,820 on May 1, 2026 under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate the spatial and temporal dynamics of neural interactions underlying attention-related enhancement and suppression of visual processing. The research examines how visuospatial attention operates through rhythmic sampling of the environment, with periodic alternation at approximately 4–6 Hz between functional states that promote selective...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York $440,275 on April 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to support research on ATOH7 interacting proteins involved in retinal ganglion cell genesis. The funded work examines how transcription factors interact with ATOH7 to promote retinal ganglion cell formation during embryonic development. Retinal ganglion cells transmit visual information from the retina to the brain and...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Rockefeller University $466,125 on July 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to test hierarchical information processing in face recognition through identification of projection neurons connecting lower and higher levels of the face-processing cortical hierarchy. The research addresses a fundamental gap in understanding how the brain recognizes and interprets faces by directly testing core premises of hierarchical object-recognition...
- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of Rochester $415,875 on July 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to develop and validate novel methods for targeting and silencing layer-specific feedback pathways from frontal cortex to visual cortex in the primate brain. The project, titled "Layer-Specific Dissection of Frontal Feedback Circuits in Active Visual Processing," is a two-year R21 exploratory grant running through June 30, 2028, performed in...
- The National Eye Institute, an office of the National Institutes of Health under the Department of Health and Human Services, awarded New York University $140,184 under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) on July 1, 2026, to support research decoding the molecular logic of visual map formation in Drosophila. The award funds a career development and research project that investigates how spatial codes in developing photoreceptors guide topographic connectivity in downstream neural...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Research Foundation For The State University of New York $456,915 on September 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate molecular mechanisms of photoreceptor outer segment renewal, with performance at Syracuse, New York, through May 31, 2031. The project uncovers fundamental molecular mechanisms underpinning the constant renewal of photoreceptor outer segments, a process critical for vision. Defects in outer segment renewal...
- This $448,250 Project Grant was awarded on May 1, 2025 by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (Upstate Medical Center) for a research project titled "Composition and Function of Optix-Cofactor Transcription Complexes in the Eye." The research aims to characterize the Optix-cofactor transcription complexes that regulate visual system development in Drosophila and vertebrates. The project will identify...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York $225,564 on May 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to support analysis and modeling of neurophysiology data from the dorsal visual stream in macaque monkeys trained to categorize visual motion by direction. The project applies representational geometry analysis and artificial neural network modeling to investigate how the primate brain generates neural representations that reflect...
- 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 award funds investigation into the deregulation of autophagy and heightened inflammation implicated in dry AMD, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly...
- The National Eye Institute awarded Duke University $485,871 for research on synaptic mechanisms of history-dependent visual processing under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) beginning September 1, 2026. The award funds investigation of how adaptation dynamically regulates sensory systems in response to recent visual experience. The research examines cell-intrinsic, synaptic, and circuit mechanisms of adaptation in primary visual cortex across multiple timescales, testing the...
