The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is offering this grant to enhance its Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS). This initiative aims to improve VEHSS, the United States’ only comprehensive collection of vision and eye health data, by incorporating diverse sources like national surveys, claims, and electronic health records. The grant’s purpose is to accurately assess national, state, and county-level prevalence of major eye diseases, vision impairment, and eye care utilization. Key activities include adding current data, streamlining indicators, identifying data gaps, and integrating new sources such as Veterans Affairs and Indian Health Service data. The project also focuses on incorporating social determinants of health, enhancing data visualization for improved end-user experience, and boosting engagement through outreach and dissemination to key partners. This grant will ensure the VEHSS remains a vital public health surveillance tool.

| Description: | This NOFO solicits non-research cooperative agreement applications to enhance CDC’s Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS), using data from a variety of sources, in order to assess U.S. national-, state-, and county-level prevalence of major eye diseases, vision impairment, and utilization of eye care. The strategies and activities in this NOFO focus on maintaining, improving, and enhancing the VEHSS, which is the only interactive, comprehensive collection of vision and eye health data in the United States. The VEHSS includes data from 5 national surveys, 4 administrative claims databases, an electronic health record registry, and published examination studies. Important activities of this NOFO include adding new years of data, streamlining indicators, identifying data gaps, and prioritizing data sources and key indicators that have the greatest value for public health surveillance. The project will also identify and add other sources of vision and eye health data, for example, data from Veterans Affairs, Indian Health Service, and other electronic health record systems. The NOFO will incorporate into the VEHSS national-, state-, and county-level data on social determinants of health and improve functionality of the VEHSS and end-user experience by enhancing data visualization and presentation. Lastly, this project will focus on outreach and dissemination of the VEHSS to key partners to drive an increase in end-user engagement with the surveillance system. |
