Funder: National Institutes of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): September 2026
Funding Amounts: Not specified; institutional core grants typically support multiple cores and infrastructure for NEI R01-funded investigators.
Summary: Supports institutional infrastructure to provide shared core resources and facilities for vision research, enhancing productivity and collaboration among NEI R01-funded investigators.
This grant supports institutional Center Core Grants designed to build and enhance research infrastructure for vision research. The program provides funding for the creation of shared resource and service cores, which must include an administrative core and at least three additional resource/service cores. These cores are intended to serve groups of NEI R01-funded investigators, consolidating resources, avoiding duplication, and increasing cost-effectiveness. The shared facilities aim to provide technical support, access to costly instrumentation, and promote collaborative studies within the institution, thereby advancing research aligned with the National Eye Institute (NEI) mission and strategic plan. Any researcher at the institution may access the core facilities.
