Description:
The purpose of the National Eye Institute (NEI) Career Transition Award is to
enable outstanding individuals to establish an independent research program
in vision research and to secure an appointment in an academic institution in
the United States. This is accomplished in a two-phase award program. The
Scholar Development Phase provides up to three years of mentored career
development training in an NEI Intramural Research Program (IRP) laboratory.
The Faculty Transition Phase provides up to two years of research support at
an extramural institution to which the Scholar has been recruited as an
independent faculty member. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements will
collaborate with the NEI in supporting Scholars whose research involves
dietary interventions or risk factors which affect visual system diseases,
disorders, or development.
