Research grants and cooperative agreements provide funds for salaries, consultant costs, equipment, supplies, travel, patient costs, alterations and renovations, other expenses, and consortium/contractual costs. The scientists and institutions are under an obligation to expend grant funds prudently for the purposes as stated in the application and award document. The Conference Cooperative Agreement supports scientific meetings and workshops in high priority research areas to encourage exchange of information among scientists. The Center Core Grant and the Vision Research Infrastructure Development Grants are intended to enhance an institution's environment and capability to conduct vision research, to facilitate collaborative studies of the visual system and its disorders, and to attract scientists of diverse disciplines to research on the visual system. Career development awards include the Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award, Mentored Patient-Oriented Research Career Development Award, Institutional Clinical Scientist Development Program, and the Mid-career Investigator Award in Patient-Oriented Research. Clinical Vision Research Development Awards are intended to help investigators develop the staff and other resources needed to enhance programs of clinical vision research through the application of epidemiology and biostatistical methodology to clinical problems. The Clinical Study Planning Grant is designed to support the development of an applied clinical research plan. Small Grants for Data Analysis provide limited support for meritorious research projects that involve secondary analysis of research data generated from clinical trials, population research and other applied clinical vision research projects supported by the Institute. Small Grants for Pilot Research provide limited support to allow investigators to collect preliminary data in feasibility studies for which a successful outcome would have a major effect on vision research. Bioengineering Research Grants (BRG) support basic bioengineering research whose outcomes are likely to advance health or health-related vision research. BRGs may propose to apply basic bioengineering design-directed or hypothesis-drive research to an important vision research area. Bioengineering Research Partnership grants support multidisciplinary research teams applying an integrative, systems approach to develop knowledge and/or methods to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases of the eye and visual system. Collaborative Research on Therapy for Visual Disorders grants provide support to collaborative, multidisciplinary research focused on the development of novel therapies to restore or prevent the loss of function due to visual diseases and disorders. Small Business Innovation Research Phase I grants are awarded to establish the technical merit and feasibility of a proposed research effort that may lead to a commercial product or process. Phase II grants are for the continuation of the research initiated in Phase I that is likely to result in commercial products or processes. Only Phase I awardees are eligible to apply for Phase II support. Small Business Technology Transfer Research, Phase I grants are to determine the scientific, technical, and commercial merit and feasibility of the proposed cooperative effort that has potential for commercial application. Phase II funding is based on results of researchinitiatedin Phase I and scientific and technical merit and commercial potential on Phase II application. National Research Service Awards (NRSAs), both individual and institutional, support training in vision research. Some individuals who receive an NRSA may be obligated upon termination of the award to comply with certain service and payback provisions. The NIH Extramural Loan Repayment Programs provides payback of a portion of eligible student loan debt of |
