Special Announcement from the National Eye Institute (NEI), National
Institutes of Health

2009 Healthy Vision Community Awards Program

NEI is pleased to announce that applications for the 2009 Healthy Vision
Community Awards (HVCA) program will be available June 30, 2008. This
program provides funding up to $10,000 for the implementation of eye
health education and promotion activities that support the Healthy
Vision 2010 objectives and the Healthy People 2010 goals to reduce
health disparities and improve quality of life. The focus of each
program must be eye health education. The 2009 HVCA funds are not
intended for research projects or to provide direct medical care. 

Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to apply, including
community-based organizations and agencies, minority-based
organizations, schools, faith-based organizations, civic and fraternal
groups, community clinics, local Agencies on Aging, and state and local
health departments and agencies. Universities and university
affiliations, such as medical centers and schools of optometry and
ophthalmology, are precluded from receiving an award directly, but are
welcome to collaborate with eligible groups, such as community-based
organizations. The final selection of award recipients will be based on
a combination of the evaluation score, geographic and racial/ethnic
representation, and project innovation. All applications must be
postmarked by Friday, August 29, 2008. Awards will be announced in
January 2009. 

Application forms and program information are available at
www.healthyvision2010.org/news/hvca. If you have questions about the
application package or eligibility requirements, please e-mail your
