Overview

The National Eye Institute (NEI) is offering a grant, called the NEI Collaborative Clinical Vision Research Chair's Grant. This grant demands a required clinical trial and uses the UG1 cooperative agreement awards.

The grant aims to support large-scale clinical trials that are initiated by investigators, involving complex or high resource- or safety-risk procedures, including human gene-transfer and stem cell therapy trials. The supported projects are multifaceted and carry high public health significance. These projects necessitate explicit clarification of study organization, including the roles and responsibilities involved, and require meticulous performance oversight and monitoring.

According to the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), eligible studies for the proposed grant must intend to evaluate interventions targeting the screening, diagnosing, prevention, or treatment of vision disorders, or to compare the effectiveness of two or more existing interventions.

NEI funds the UG1-supported studies as a set of single-component companion grant awards, which include the Chair's Grant, the Coordinating Center, and Resource Centers, when applicable.

Specifically, the NOFO encourages applications for the Chair's grant. This grant encapsulates the scientific rationale, study aims, and overall significance of the research project.
