DoD Vision Research, Mentored Clinical Research Award
The FY24 VRP MCRA is intended to support patient-oriented vision injury research and develop research expertise of highly motivated military or civilian clinicians in training.
Research supported by the MCRA can be a standalone study of high impact to vision injury care or the generation of clinical research data in preparation for a more expansive study.Each MCRA must be led by an established clinician or Ph.D.
clinical scientist who will serve as Principal Investigator (PI) of the award.
Key personnel must include a clinician in training (e.g., a fellow, resident, junior clinician, clinician in a Ph.D.
program).
The clinician in training should have sufficient time remaining in their training program to complete the research proposed under the MCRA.
The clinician in training will conduct the proposed research under the mentorship of the PI, with support from supporting personnel as appropriate.
While additional junior scientists or clinicians may participate in the research, only one clinician in training may be designated as mentee.
