Description
The purpose of NEI's Translational Research program (TRP) is the rapid and efficient translation of innovative laboratory research findings into therapeutics for use by clinicians to treat visual system diseases or disorders. The TRP will support the product development of biological, pharmaceutical, medical device, and/or combination therapies for any disease or disorder of the visual system.The TRP will utilize a bi-phasic, milestone-driven mechanism of award. The R61 phase can be up to two years and will support research that has demonstrated significant preliminary data but has not advanced to the level of clinical translation. The R33 phase can be up to four years and will support research that is in the final states of preclinical development with potential for near-term clinical development. The total duration of both R61 and R33 cannot exceed five years. The R33 is to focus on advancing a single therapeutic candidate through Investigational New Drug or Investigational Device Exemption (IND/IDE) enabling studies, filing an IND/IDE package with the FDA, and designing future clinical trials. R33 recipients must submit or obtain an IND/IDE application to FDA, or must transition the product to clinical practice, within the period of performance. The specific activities appropriate for the R33 phase will depend on the product under study and available preliminary data on the product. Delineation of milestones by the applicant for the R61 and R33 phases is a key
