NDRI and collaborators were awarded a research grant of $12.5M over 5 years to collaborate on the developmental Genotype Expression (dGTEx) project

NDRI was recently awarded a research resource grant of $334,446 from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) to support the development of the Ocular Tissue Resource for Alzheimer’s Disease (OTRAD). While significant advances continue to be made with the identification of blood-based biomarkers for Alzheimer’s disease (AD), there is an emergent interest in the use of ocular imaging or other ocular biomarkers as a parallel approach in early detection of the disease.

NDRI issued a public comment on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services proposed rule entitled "Medicare Program: Hospital Inpatient Prospective Payment Systems for Acute Care Hospitals and the Long Term Care Hospital Prospective Payment System and Proposed Policy Changes and Fiscal Year 2022 Rates; Quality Programs and Medicare Promoting Interoperability Program Requirements for Eligible Hospitals and Critical Access Hospitals; Proposed Changes to Medicaid Provider Enrollment". This rule dramatically discourages the use and acquisition of human tissues for biomedical research- our comment was posted on June 22.

In early January 2021, NDRI’s Scientific Services and Marketing teams sent out a 10- question survey to approximately 3,000 researcher contacts. We have received a very strong and insightful 11% response.

NDRI is pleased to share our Spring 2021 edition of Research Nexus. Inside you will find findings from our COVID-19 Researcher Survey, stories and publications from our researchers, updates on our programmatic initiatives and staff, and highlights featuring some of our very own board members.

Read this edition and look for highlights of our stories in the days ahead!
