Grant Description

Purpose. This FOA issued by the National Eye Institute (NEI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), encourages Research Project Grant for Secondary Data Analysis (R21) applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct secondary data analyses utilizing existing database resources. Applications may be related to, but must be distinct from, the specific aims of the original data collection. The NEI supports an extensive portfolio of clinical trials and large-scale epidemiologic research projects, wherein numerous data collection activities are required to meet each projects specific aims. The resultant wealth of data generated by these studies often provides unique, cost-effective opportunities to investigate additional research questions or develop new analytical approaches secondary to a projects originally intended purpose. Data are not limited to that collected under NEI support but these data are of highest programmatic interest. The R21 may be used to develop new statistical methodologies or to test hypotheses using existing data. Applicants should consider the relevance of their proposed analyses to NEI programs and priorities as described in the National Plan for Eye and Vision Research available at http://www.nei.nih.gov. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will use the NIH Exploratory/Developmental (R21) grant mechanism. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications.
