The National Eye Institute (NEI) is offering this grant to accelerate the translation of innovative laboratory research into novel therapeutics for visual system diseases and disorders. This R33 grant is specifically for multidisciplinary teams of scientists and clinicians to generate robust preclinical data, paving the way for the development of biological, pharmacological, medical device, or combination product interventions. The ultimate goal is to provide new technological, biological, and pharmacological resources to clinicians and their patients. Successful applicants will focus on advancing a single therapeutic candidate through Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemption (IDE)-enabling studies, with the aim of filing an IND package with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and designing subsequent clinical trials.

| Description: | The purpose of this NOFO is the rapid and efficient translation of innovative laboratory research findings into therapeutics for use by clinicians to treat visual system diseases or disorders. Multidisciplinary teams of scientists and clinicians must focus on generating preclinical data that will lead to the development of biological, pharmacological, medical device and/or combination product interventions. The ultimate goal of this program is to make new technological, biological and pharmacological resources available to clinicians and their patients. The steps towards this goal should be clearly delineated in a series of milestones that support the development of a therapeutic or device that will lead to an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exception (IDE) application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and/or testing in a clinical trial. The R33 is to focus on advancing a single therapeutic candidate through IND/IDE -enabling studies, filing an IND package with the FDA, and designing future clinical trials. Applicants pursuing early stage applied research should consider the companion (R61/R33) NOFO PA-23-XXX. |
