    Description

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is forecasting a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Enhancing and Modernizing the US Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System." This initiative aims to maintain, enhance, and modernize the Vision and Eye Health Surveillance System (VEHSS) to assess the prevalence of major eye diseases, vision impairment, and the utilization of eye care services across the United States. Given the significant public health impact of visual acuity loss and blindness, which affects over 7 million Americans and incurs annual costs exceeding $130 billion, this project is crucial for tracking disease magnitude, risk factors, and health disparities. The estimated total program funding is $1,950,000, with a single award ceiling of $650,000. Interested applicants can reach out to John D. Omura at 770-488-6339 or via email at ydk8@cdc.gov, with applications due by March 14, 2025, and an anticipated award date of August 29, 2025.
