Establish a Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System for the Nation: FOA Purpose

This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits applications to develop, test, and implement a vision
and eye health surveillance system using existing surveys, as well as administrative and electronic data
sources. Such a system will be built to provide population estimates of vision loss function, eye diseases,
health disparities, as well as barriers and facilitators to access vision and eye care at the national, state, and
community levels. This surveillance system will provide data to prioritize new program interventions,
inform policy changes, and improve public communications. The dissemination of these data to existing
public health programs will encourage public health action to improve the vision and eye health of the nation.
