- This Project Grant award of $393,175.00 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) is supporting the implementation and evaluation of instrument-based vision screening in primary care pediatric offices affiliated with Akron Children's Hospital. The goal is to enhance early detection of sight-threatening disorders in young children (ages 3-5) within the hospital's service area. Since the project's implementation in April 2021, the awardee has demonstrated a significant...
- 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...
- The Project Grant award of $621,250 from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) is supporting the development of a gaze-contingent AI-enabled low vision assistive technology (GALVAT) system. The project is being led by The Johns Hopkins University, in collaboration with the Chicago Lighthouse, Applied Universal Dynamics Corp, and the Illinois Institute of Technology. The goal is to reduce information overload for visually impaired users by defining a gaze-contingent...
- This Project Grant award of $375,940 from the National Eye Institute (NEI) under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867) aims to conduct a feasibility study for using the NeuroVEP system developed by Neurofieldz Inc. to provide objective diagnostic information on neuro-ophthalmic diseases affecting the afferent visual system.
