The National Eye Institute is offering the Audacious Goal Initiative grant to address technical needs and opportunities for imaging the visual system. This grant aims to support research in regenerating neurons and neural connections in the eye, focusing on conditions like loss of photoreceptor cells and damage to retinal ganglion cells. The priority areas for this grant include developing new treatments for eye diseases using molecular approaches and exploring the intersection of aging and the biologic mechanisms of eye diseases. Applications must be submitted by August 14, 2014.

| Description: | The NEI Audacious Goal Initiative (AGI) strategic planning process (see http://www.nei.nih.gov/audacious) selected the single audacious goal (AG) of regenerating neurons and neural connections in the eye and visual system. This AG speaks to two conditions, loss of photoreceptor cells (PRC) by disease or injury and damage to retinal ganglion cells (RGC) as occurs in glaucoma or optic neuropathy. The AGI process also identified two areas of high programmatic priority, developing new treatments for eye disease using molecular approaches and understanding the intersection of aging and the biologic mechanisms of eye disease. |
