NEI Vision Research Epidemiology Grant (UG1 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The National Eye Institute (NEI) offers the Vision Research Epidemiology Grant, designed to fund robust, investigative research in the field of ocular epidemiology. This grant intends to encourage innovative research that aims to revolutionize our understanding of vision health and disease. Multifaceted projects, those involving several centers, as well as undertakings that necessitate a high level of resources, are all the focus of this funding, as long as they carry an inherent epidemiological aspect. Importantly, the grant does not support clinical trials (denoted by the UG1 Clinical Trial Not Allowed tag). Rather, it works through a cooperative agreement mechanism under the UG1 activity code. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) seeks to motivate ground-breaking research in ocular epidemiology.
