This grant is for supporting bilateral research collaborations between U.S. and Indian institutions through Multiple Principal Investigator (Multi-PD/PI) applications. It aims to advance science and technology in understanding, preventing, and treating blinding eye diseases and visual disorders. Proposals are sought for basic biology, genetics, translational, or epidemiological research on ophthalmic conditions. These include diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, rare genetic diseases like congenital cataracts, ocular inflammation/uveitis, refractive error, and corneal injury. This initiative supports joint projects with Indian investigators, focusing exclusively on non-clinical trial research to address critical vision health challenges.
