Description

This opportunity supports translational research projects that move promising laboratory findings toward clinical applications specifically aimed at understanding, diagnosing, treating, or restoring vision following military-related visual injuries or dysfunction. The program seeks to bridge the gap between basic science and clinical implementation, with an emphasis on projects that demonstrate a clear path toward regulatory submissions (e.g., IND or IDE) and clinical use. Proposals must align with the Vision Research Program’s focus areas and include preliminary data. Collaborative applications are encouraged, and a pilot clinical trial may be included as part of the proposed work.
