Description
This opportunity funds clinical trials under the Vision Research Program (VRP) to advance the treatment or management of eye injuries and visual dysfunction connected to military service. The award aims to support studies with high potential for clinical impact, especially those addressing critical gaps in the care of service members with visual system trauma, including injuries related to combat exposure and traumatic brain injury. Projects must align with one or more FY26 VRP Focus Areas and must be clinical trials (not preclinical or non-trial clinical research).
