NEI Translational Research Program On Therapy For Visual Disorders: The National Eye Institute (NEI) supports multidisciplinary research focusing on the development of novel biological therapies for visual diseases and disorders. The translation of research findings into clinical application often requires a comprehensive and integrated team approach. NEI is making resources available to scientists from several disciplines to form research teams to tackle therapeutic problems that may be beyond the capabilities of any one research group. Because the nature and scope of the proposed research will vary from application to application, it is anticipated that the size and duration of each award will also vary. Applicants may request up to $2 million per year direct costs for a total project period of five years. No specific funds have been set aside for this announcement. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the mechanism numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Awards are not renewable. This PAR will use the National Institutes of Health (NIH) R24 Research Resources Grant award mechanism. Eligible organizations include: domestic for-profit and non-profit organizations, public and private, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of State and local governments, and eligible agencies of the Federal government. Foreign institutions are not eligible. Eligible principal investigators include all individuals with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, as well as women and persons with disabilities, are encouraged to apply as PIs.
