Description

Purpose. The National Eye Institute (NEI) supports multidisciplinary research focusing on the development of novel biological therapies for visual diseases and disorders. The translation of research findings into clinical application often requires a comprehensive and integrated team approach. NEI is making resources available to scientists from several disciplines to form research teams to tackle therapeutic problems that may be beyond the capabilities of any one research group Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) R24 Research Resources Grant award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and numbers of awards will also vary. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the number, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
