NEI established NEHEP to increase awareness among healthcare professionals and the public of scientifically based health information that can be applied to preserving sight and preventing blindness. NEHEP works in partnership with a variety of public and private organizations that conduct eye health education programs. Program activities are designed to promote the importance of early detection and timely treatment of eye disease and the use of vision rehabilitation services using strategies that are culturally appropriate, health-literate, and evidence-based. NEHEP ensures that vision is a health priority by translating eye and vision research into public and professional education programs. NEHEP supports collaboration among eye health professionals, healthcare providers, patients, and the public. NEHEP programs provide healthcare professionals with information, materials, and resources to educate patients and the public about eye health and the importance of comprehensive dilated eye examinations. NEHEP is supported by a Planning Committee and a Partnership, which bring a vast array of knowledge about eye health and experience with populations at higher risk for eye disease. NEHEP Programs *Diabetic Eye Disease: The NEHEP Diabetic Eye Disease (DED) Education Program is designed to increase awareness about DED among people with diabetes, particularly those at higher risk. *Glaucoma: The NEHEP Glaucoma Education Program provides information about glaucoma to people at higher risk as well as those living with the disease. *Low Vision: The NEHEP Low Vision Education Program is designed to create awareness among adults, their families and friends, and the general public about vision rehabilitation services. *Ojo con su Vision: Ojo con su visin or Watch out for your vision is the Spanish-language program of NEHEP that targets the Hispanic/Latino community. Healthy Vision Program Healthy People 2010, the health promotion and disease prevention framework for the Nation, identifies the most significant risks to health and establishes national goals to reduce those risks. Focus area 28 of Healthy People 2010, Vision and Hearing, includes 10 vision objectives known as Healthy Vision. The Healthy Vision objectives identify national eye health concerns, and encourage individuals, organizations, and businesses to help address these concerns in their communities. *Healthy Vision 2010 Focusing on examination and prevention, eye diseases, injury and safety, and vision rehabilitation, Healthy Vision 2010 is designed to help you determine what you can do in your home, community, business, or state to help improve the Nation's eye health. *Healthy Vision Community Awards Program The Healthy Vision Community Awards Program provides awards of up to 10,000 for community-based eye health education programs. The program objectives address examinations and prevention, eye diseases, injury and safety, and vision rehabilitation. *Healthy Vision Month May is Healthy Vision Month, a national eye health observance sponsored by NEI and the National Eye Health Education Program Partnership. Healthy Vision Month is devoted to elevating vision as a public health priority. Each year focuses on a specific eye health topic. *Healthy Vision Community Programs Database The Healthy Vision Community Programs Database is a searchable collection of community-based vision health programs from the different U.S. states and territories. It stimulates ideas for creative eye health education projects and promotes networking among interested groups. Outlook Newsletter: Outlook is the electronic newsletter of the National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP). Outlook provides quarterly updates on eye health education, disease prevention activities, and NEHEP activities and materials. Related Research: NEHEP represents an extension of the support that NEI provides to vision research, where results are disseminated to health professionals, patients, and the public.

A complete out-of-the-box data management software solution that makes data accessible by providing tools to streamline publishing, sharing, finding and using data. CKAN is aimed at data publishers (national and regional governments, companies and organizations) wanting to make their data open and available. It uses its internal model to store metadata about the different records, and presents it on a web interface that allows users to browse and search this metadata. It also offers a powerful API that allows third-party applications and services to be built around it. CKAN is built with Python on the backend and Javascript on the frontend, and uses the Pylons web framework and SQLAlchemy as its ORM. Its database engine is PostgreSQL and its search is powered by SOLR. It has a modular architecture that allows extensions to be developed to provide additional features such as harvesting or data upload. CKAN is currently used by governments and user groups worldwide to power both official and community data portals.

http://brainmap.org/

A community database of published functional and structural neuroimaging experiments with both metadata descriptions of experimental design and activation locations in the form of stereotactic coordinates (x,y,z) in Talairach or MNI space. BrainMap provides not only data for meta-analyses and data mining, but also distributes software and concepts for quantitative integration of neuroimaging data. The goal of BrainMap is to develop software and tools to share neuroimaging results and enable meta-analysis of studies of human brain function and structure in healthy and diseased subjects. It is a tool to rapidly retrieve and understand studies in specific research domains, such as language, memory, attention, reasoning, emotion, and perception, and to perform meta-analyses of like studies. Brainmap contains the following software: # Sleuth: database searches and Talairach coordinate plotting (this application requires a username and password) # GingerALE: performs meta-analyses via the activation likelihood estimation (ALE) method; also converts coordinates between MNI and Talairach spaces using icbm2tal # Scribe: database entry of published functional neuroimaging papers with coordinate results

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on May 4th,2023. Program developing a self-sustaining colony of baboons free of all known herpesviruses, four retroviruses, and SV40 for research. When the program is fully developed, they will provide healthy, behaviorally normal, SPF baboons that are free of all known herpes viruses, four retroviruses, and SV40. To accomplish this goal, the center has established in collaboration with co-investigators and consultants serological and PCR tests for each of the 11 target viruses. These baboon viruses include six herpesviruses (analogs of human HSV, VZV, CMV, HHV6, EBV, and HHV8), four retroviruses (simian foamy virus, SRV/D, SIV, and STLV), and SV40. Twenty-four infant baboons are being recruited into the SPF program in each of the first five years, for a final total of at least 66 SPF baboons. All infants will be repeatedly tested for each of the target viruses. At one month of age, larger social groups of 4-6 SPF animals are formed. Beginning at 2-3 years of age, SPF animals will be integrated into larger socially compatible groups. These groups will eventually mature into breeding harems of SPF animals. This approach provides infants with age-matched companions for socialization during their early period of development, minimizes opportunities for transmission of viruses to the infants from adult animals, and allows for the simultaneous elimination of many different viruses from SPF animals.
