About the NEI ORM
The NEI Office of Regenerative Medicine (ORM) provides scientific and administrative support to the vision research community. The ORM facilitates collaboration among scientists across the NIH and other federal agencies, academia, and nonprofit and private research sectors. ORM’s goal is to accelerate progress in regenerative medicine for vision.

NEI Audacious Goals Initiative (AGI)
NEI is pushing the boundaries of vision science. By facilitating cross-disciplinary research, the AGI is advancing regenerative medicine to tackle the most devastating and difficult-to-treat eye diseases. Explore the NEI Audacious Goals Initiative (AGI).
NEI 3-D Retina Organoid Challenge (3DROC)
3-D ROC is spurring development of robust systems for modeling retinal diseases and testing new regenerative therapies. Explore the NEI 3-D Retina Organoid Challenge (3DROC).
NEI AMD Integrative Biology Initiative
NEI is taking the first important steps to correlate phenotypes, genotypes, and imaging information in the newly created AMD Integrative Biology Initiative. Explore the NEI AMD Integrative Biology Initiative.
NIH Regenerative Medicine Innovation Project (RMIP)
This trans-NIH effort was established by the 21st Century Cures Act to accelerate progress in the field by supporting clinical research on adult stem cells, while promoting scientific rigor and protecting patient safety. Explore the NIH Regenerative Medicine Innovation Project (RMIP).
