This grant is for comprehensively delineating ocular surface innervation, encompassing corneal sensation, pain circuits, and tearing reflexes. The National Eye Institute, through this funding opportunity, seeks to explore this vital system across three integrated levels of analysis: morphologic, molecular, and functional. Successful projects are required to incorporate and integrate at least two, and ideally all three, of these analytical dimensions. Collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams with complementary areas of expertise are highly encouraged. The foundational basic biology research supported by this initiative will facilitate a deeper understanding of related pathobiology, including neuropathic ocular pain and dry eye disease, ultimately laying the groundwork for future translational and clinical research focused on the anterior segment of the eye.

| Description: | This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) aims to identify and support collaborative projects that will comprehensively delineate ocular surface innervation from corneal sensation to pain circuits and tearing reflexes. The Request for Applications (RFA) aims to explore this system at three levels of analysis: morphologic, molecular, and functional. Successful projects will incorporate and integrate at least two of these levels of analysis, and ideally all three. Collaborative multi-disciplinary teams are expected with investigators having complementary areas of expertise. The premise of this FOA is that such basic biology will facilitate a deeper understanding of related pathobiology including neuropathic ocular pain and dry eye disease that will lay a foundation for future translational and clinical research on the anterior segment of the eye. |
