US National Institutes of Health – National Eye Institute (NEI) grant open #PAR-23-201
Response due May 25, 2026 · 00:00 UTC

Summary

The National Eye Institute (NEI), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH/HHS), is soliciting applications for a Resource Center Grant (UG1 mechanism) in support of a Collaborative Clinical Vision Research Project. The opportunity requires a clinical trial component. The funding opportunity is open for a multi-year window spanning from May 2023 through May 2026, indicating a rolling or multiple-cycle submission structure typical of NIH Program Announcement with Review (PAR) notices.

What they want

Applicants must propose a Resource Center that supports a collaborative clinical vision research project. The grant mechanism is UG1, which is a cooperative agreement used for clinical trials. A clinical trial is explicitly required as part of the proposed research. The Resource Center is expected to provide infrastructure, coordination, or scientific resources to support the collaborative vision research network or trial.

Risks & flags
