The National Eye Institute (NEI) recognizes the importance of strengthening the capabilities of community-based organizations to develop innovative eye health education and promotion projects. The Healthy Vision Community Awards Program provides awards of up to $10,000 each and is intended to stimulate collaborative initiatives that address eye health issues including:

Age-related macular degeneration
Diabetic Eye Disease
Glaucoma
Occupational Eye Safety
Vision Rehabilitation

The Healthy Vision Community Awards are limited to health education programs conducted within the U.S. and its territories.

Please note: The Healthy Vision Community Awards are not available for research funding. These awards also are not intended to provide direct medical care. For more information on research funding opportunities offered by NEI, visit http://www.nei.nih.gov/funding/.
