The recipient will conduct research into the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing optic nerve myelin integrity, with emphasis on understanding how myelin whorls—multilayered degenerative myelin structures that appear in demyelinating...
- The National Eye Institute awarded the University of Texas at Austin $696,503 on April 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate circuit mechanisms underlying invariant representations in visual processing. The award, designated R01EY037544, supports a five-year project through March 31, 2031, with work performed in Austin, Texas. The research dissects how the visual system transforms sensory inputs into increasingly invariant representations that remain stable...
- The National Eye Institute, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The Methodist Hospital Research Institute $224,100 on June 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to investigate how direct connections between primary visual cortex and prefrontal cortex interact with the pulvinar nucleus of the thalamus to shape visual perception and visually-guided decision-making in nonhuman primates. The recipient will employ focused...
- The National Eye Institute awarded The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center $456,500 on July 1, 2026, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867, Assistance Listing) for spatial molecular profiling of optic nerve injury and assessment of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. The research examines why regenerated retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons fail to reach the brain after optic nerve injury, instead following circuitous pathways within fibrotic scars—a phenomenon the...
- The National Eye Institute, part of the Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health, awarded The University of Chicago $929,806 on September 30, 2025, under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867). The award funds research into synaptic development of the retinogeniculate pathway—the neural circuit connecting the eyes to the brain—with investigation focused on how neurons form correct connections during childhood development and how visual experience shapes that...
- 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...
