Grant Description: Purpose. The National Eye Institute (NEI) supports multidisciplinary research focusing on the development of novel therapies to treat visual diseases and disorders. The rapid and efficient translation of innovative laboratory research findings into clinical development frequently requires a comprehensive and highly integrated approach involving collaborative teams of scientists and clinicians with expertise in multiple disciplines. Such a collaborative approach is particularly appropriate for research focused on pathways that will likely be targeted by biological intervention, such as gene therapy, cell-based therapy, pharmacological approaches. The intention of this program is to make resources available to scientists from several disciplines to form research teams to address scientific and technical questions that would be beyond the capabilities of any one research group. Each project should have a well-defined end-point, achievable within a five-year time frame, of developing a specific treatment for a specific disease. The steps toward this end-point should be clearly delineated in a series of milestones that support the development of a therapeutic approach, which can then be tested in a clinical trial. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the National Institutes of Health (NIH) R24 Research Resources Grant award mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. 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. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the numbers, quality, duration, and costs of the applications received.
