NEI Research Grant for Vision-Related Secondary Data Analysis
Funds secondary analysis of vision-health data that already exists, and new statistical methods for getting more out of it.
Vision researchers sit on years of data that a new study is not always needed to use again — registries, trial datasets, longitudinal cohorts — and a fresh question can sometimes be answered from what already exists.
This notice funds vision-related research projects built on secondary analysis of existing database resources, rather than new data collection.
A second, easy-to-miss purpose sits a…
Secondary data analyses of existing vision-related database resources, and development of statistical methodology to improve analysis of existing vision health data. A clinical trial is not allowed under this version.
