The federal Project Grant award of $862,580.00 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support "The Aging Eyes Study: Mitochondrial Dysfunction as a Driver of Age-Related Vision Loss". The objective is to identify the role of mitochondrial function and genetics in the etiology of aging-related eye diseases. The project aims to build a platform and foster collaboration to further investigate the link between mitochondrial function and age-related vision loss. This will generate knowledge for developing mitochondrial function-based clinical indicators and provide evidence for potential interventions to slow the aging of the eyes and improve vision health. A sub-award of an undisclosed amount will support The Johns Hopkins University's involvement in the research project.
