About this program
The National Institutes of Health National Eye Institute administers the Vision Research — Research Centers program (CFDA 93.675) to fund eye and vision research projects addressing the leading causes of blindness and impaired vision in the United States.
The program supports basic and clinical vision research through research centers and cooperative agreements investigating retinal diseases, corneal diseases, cataract, glaucoma and optic neuropathies, strabismus, amblyopia, and low vision and blindness rehabilitation. Funded research also encompasses work to understand the normal development and function of the visual system, clinical trials, and epidemiological studies aimed at prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of sight-threatening conditions.
The assistance-type mix is predominantly Project Grants and Cooperative Agreements. All applications undergo scientific and technical merit review by scientific authorities and review by the National Advisory Eye Council; competitive applications compete for available funds based on scientific and technical merit, program relevance, and program balance. Funding decisions also consider technical merit of the proposed project, synergy between individual projects and cores, availability of funds, and relevance to program priorities.
Eligible organizations are determined at the individual notice of funding opportunity level. Renewals are also determined at the NOFO level. Recipients other than Federal institutions are subject to audit requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F and the NIH Grants Policy Statement; records must be retained at least three years, or longer if audit findings remain unresolved.
The source provided does not include grant award portfolio data, recent grant awards, or currently open grant opportunities. To evaluate award volume, typical funding magnitudes, and recent competition, consult the NIH grant tracking system (NIH-RePorter) or the Assistance Listing website's NOFO search function for active solicitations under 93.675.
