- This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program totaling $100,000 aims to develop a computational solution to evaluate optic nerve function. Specifically, the University of Nevada, Reno will use the funding to potentially create an affordable, convenient head-mounted display capable of remotely and routinely assessing the health of the optic nerve through afferent pupillary defect tests. This screening tool may allow doctors, including...
- This Project Grant award from the National Eye Institute's Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) provides $179,964 to the University of California, Irvine (UCI) to develop innovative biomarkers for optic neuropathies using deep learning-based analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) imagery. The project aims to overcome limitations of current OCT-based diagnostics by employing advanced computational techniques like deep learning, neural fields, and geometric modeling to enhance the...
- This federal Project Grant award of $315,825.00 from the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 Vision Research) supports the development of a new, non-invasive, remote photonic technology for intraocular pressure (IOP) biomonitoring in glaucoma patients. The technology, called Photonic IOP Biomonitoring (PIB), uses sound waves and laser speckle pattern monitoring to deduce IOP without the need for physical eye contact or clinician interpretation. The goal is to miniaturize PIB into monoculars or...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded Kineolabs, Inc. a $300,001 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to develop a portable, low-cost line-scan swept-source optical coherence tomography (LS-SS-OCT) imaging system. The objective is to use this LS-SS-OCT technology for early detection and monitoring of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and other eye diseases. The project aims to make OCT imaging more affordable and accessible to reduce the...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the National Institutes of Health, awarded a $331,131 Project Grant under the Vision Research program (CFDA 93.867) to Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) to develop and validate a high-resolution retinal imaging system with light flicker capabilities. This system aims to enable objective characterization of the photoreceptor response to light and quantify differences between normal and diseased eyes, particularly for patients with diabetic retinopathy. PSI,...
- This federal Project Grant award of $306,118 was provided by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research) to Eyescreen, Inc. for the project "DRUG SCREENING PLATFORM IN THE LIGHT-RESPONSIVE HUMAN EYE". The goal of this award is to develop new technology and assays to test the efficacy and safety of investigational new drugs (INDs) for blinding diseases like age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, and inherited retinal degenerations using...
- The National Eye Institute (NEI) awarded a $687,692 Project Grant to Northeastern University to develop an open-source, extended-reality (XR) platform that can make accessible basic vision science assessments and interventions to people living with visual impairment. The project, titled "Improving Accessibility of Vision Research and Therapy Using an Open-Source, Extended-Reality Platform," aims to leverage vision science insights, software development expertise, and XR headsets to...
- This $517,600 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), to The Washington University in Missouri. The funding supports a research project titled "Visual Feature Competition Between Central and Peripheral Retinal Pathways" over the period from July 1, 2025 to March 31, 2030. The key objectives of the project are to: 1) behaviorally assess whether larval zebrafish can perform eye fixation...
- This Project Grant award of $493,642, provided by the National Eye Institute (CFDA 93.867 - Vision Research), supports a research project to identify and locate geographic clusters of vision and eye health problems using secondary surveillance data. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include: Developing an application to access public use files from the CDC-funded Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS) to conduct scan statistical analyses and report...
- This federal Project Grant award of $306,872.00 was provided by the National Eye Institute (NEI), under the Vision Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.867), to Sidetrack Ventures, LLC. The funding supports the development of an innovative tool to improve communication between traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and healthcare providers regarding visual impairment symptoms. The project aims to address the challenge that current screening and assessment forms do not adequately capture the...
