The National Eye Institute (NEI) is offering this grant to support planning efforts for large-scale clinical vision research projects. This grant is for the crucial initial phase of developing detailed information, such as comprehensive study protocols and Manual of Procedures (MOP), which are vital for randomized clinical trials and epidemiologic studies on eye/vision conditions. Recognizing the significant time and cost involved in these preparations, the NEI aims to facilitate the development of robust research frameworks. While it can fund preliminary studies to refine procedures or assess recruitment potential, this grant must not be used to generate data on the effects of proposed interventions. It is applicable to both epidemiologic and clinical trial research studies, ensuring a strong foundation for future investigations.
