Overview

Forecasting Glaucoma Disease Progression with Artificial Intelligence Grant

Overview: The Glaucoma Foundation issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for research addressing critical gaps in glaucoma care using artificial intelligence strategies.

Focus: Forecasting glaucoma disease progression and predicting whether patients will require incisional surgery or be blinded by glaucoma.

Award Amount: Up to $250,000 USD over a two-year period. No indirect funds are allowed.

Key Requirements:

  • Research team must be willing to share the algorithm freely (without sharing individual-level patient data)

  • Applications must forecast outcomes rather than provide alternative monitoring strategies

  • Preference given to applications that could lead to a randomized clinical trial of AI-guided versus usual care in the management of glaucoma

  • Focus on applications that forecast an outcome and ultimately impact patient care

    • Major Gaps Addressed:

  • No current way to forecast glaucoma disease progression

  • Lack of predictions about whether patients will require incisional surgery or be blinded by glaucoma

  • Arbitrary decisions about target IOP based only on clinical consideration of patient age, baseline damage, and baseline IOP

    • Status: This was a specific RFA issued in 2021. The University of California, San Diego was awarded $250,000 for a two-year project on this topic.

    • How to Apply

    Application Process

    Submission Requirements:

  • Detailed research proposal addressing the RFA focus

  • Applications must clearly articulate how the research will forecast glaucoma progression outcomes

  • Explanation of algorithm sharing strategy and implementation plan

    • Eligibility:

  • Research teams from institutions of higher education

  • Interdisciplinary teams with AI expertise encouraged

    • Selection Process:

  • Applications reviewed by a panel of independent AI experts
