The United States (U.S.)-Ireland Research and Development (R&D) Partnership Programme was launched in 2006 and involves funding agencies from the U.S., the Republic of Ireland, and Northern Ireland. The overall goal is to increase research and development collaborations between researchers in the three countries. 

This webinar has been organised to generate further awareness of how the U.S.-Ireland R&D Partnership Programme health area of the partnership operates. In addition to an overview of the U.S.-Ireland R&D Partnership Programme, the workshop will highlight unique scientific opportunities and priorities in vision research. This webinar will provide an opportunity for interested researchers and research administrators to: 

• learn more about the overall U.S.-Ireland R&D Partnership Programme; 

• define NEI’s specific vision research priorities; 

• navigate the NIH system; 

• identify avenues to find potential collaborators, and 

• provide best practices and insights from relevant funder staff and funded U.S.-Ireland research teams.
