Description: This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) solicits Research Program (U58) cooperative agreement applications to conduct applied public health research to close the gap between optimal evidence-based eye care and existing practice. The focus is to develop and implement a common research protocol to assess and evaluate system-level and individual-level factors that impact access to, and the quality of eye care; and to analyze existing data and identify barriers and enablers to the delivery of efficacious and cost-effective eye care that prevent vision loss and promote eye health.
