The National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health at Prevent Blindness (NCCVEH), and the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) are calling on health professionals, eye care professionals, and others to apply for a vision-health collaborative, named “Improving Children’s Vision: Systems, Stakeholders & Support.”
Its mission: Increase by 20 percent over 2011-2012 levels (according to the National Survey of Children’s Health measure)
the proportion of children five and younger who receive vision
screenings in five selected states by 2018. At that time, NCCVEH should have a comprehensive approach that reduces vision problems of children in hard-to-reach areas.
All teams interested in participating must submit applications via an online portal by April 25, 2016 at 5 p.m. ET. Applications will be selected and parties notified by May 23, 2016.
