NEI Audacious Goals Initiative in Vision Research High Priority Research Area: Molecular Therapies for Eye Disease (R01): The NEI Audacious Goals Initiative identified as a high priority research area the development of new treatments for eye disease using molecular approaches. The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to encourage submission of new, innovative projects directed to exploring this area by developing treatments through: 1) the control, modification, and delivery of genetic information; or 2) through the development of small molecules and optogenetic approaches to treat eye disease and to restore sight. Applications may address treatment of disease in any portion of the visual system. An application may propose design-directed, developmental, discovery-driven, or hypothesis-driven research. It is appropriate to propose small, multidisciplinary teams applying an integrative approach to solve these problems.
