- This $146,922 project grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research at The Johns Hopkins University to understand the chromatin architectural landscape of retinal development at the single-cell level. The project aims to identify how transcription factors manipulate genomic structure to control cell fate specification in the retina, a model system for studying neuronal development. Specifically, the research will use single-cell Hi-C and...
- 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 $464,903 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) will support research at the University of Chicago to investigate how neuronal connections form in the retinogeniculate pathway during childhood development. The researchers will focus on understanding how neurons in the visual system make the correct connections, and how disruptions like closing one eye can impact this process. The goal is to gain insights into how...
- This $429,016 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to Oakland University supports research to identify the mechanisms by which a subset of retinal amacrine cells, called starburst amacrine cells, initiate and propagate spontaneous cholinergic waves in the developing retina. The objectives are to determine the distribution and properties of these cholinergic wave "pacemaker" cells (Aim 1) and to elucidate the calcium-dependent...
- 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 federal Project Grant award of $428,349 from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) supports research into the mechanistic assessment of retinal ganglion cell genesis. The award, with a performance period from July 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030, aims to investigate the shared gene regulatory network and downstream targets of the key transcription factors Atoh7, Pou4f2, and Isl1 that are required for proper retinal ganglion cell development. The research will be...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) is supporting research at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University to investigate the role of neuronal activity on retinal angiogenesis and blood-retina barrier (BRB) maturation. The $248,999 award, effective from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2028, aims to elucidate how neuronal synaptic activity, specifically cholinergic and glutamatergic neurotransmitters,...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) provides $413,920 to the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) to develop novel biophysical models of eye morphogenesis processes. Specifically, the project aims to: Create quantitative models of choroid fissure closure in zebrafish and foveal pit formation across species, testing the models against experimental data. This work will engage UNC undergraduate physics and biology students in all aspects of...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) supports the development of a novel, noninvasive, and sensitive diagnostic method to measure retinal dysfunction. The $491,466 award will fund research at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2026. The project aims to create a scalable diagnostic tool that can detect the earliest signs of retinal diseases like diabetic retinopathy and retinitis pigmentosa,...
- The federal Project Grant award of $249,000.00 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research grant program (CFDA 93.867) will support research at the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) to elucidate unique spectral-temporal fluorescence signatures to determine stratification and redistribution of intracellular retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cell pigment granules. The research aims to provide fundamental insight into the connection between retinal pigment redistribution...
