NEI Collaborative Clinical Vision Research
Funds a collaborative framework — Chair's Grant, Coordinating Center and Resource Centers — for complex, multi-site clinical vision research.
Some vision trials are too big, too risky, or too complex for a single site to run alone — a multi-center gene-transfer trial, say, or a stem-cell therapy study. This award funds the collaborative structure that kind of trial needs.
The design is named in parts: a Chair's Grant, a Coordinating Center, and one or more Resource Centers, working under a single UG1 cooperative agreement. NIH staff st…
UG1 cooperative agreements funding investigator-initiated clinical vision research that is complex, high-resource or needs elevated safety oversight — multi-center trials, human gene-transfer and stem cell therapy trials, and epidemiological studies — addressing the causes, diagnosis, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of eye and vision conditions across the lifespan, through a Chair's Grant, Coordinating Center and Resource Center(s).
