DRCR Retina Network

The DRCR Retina Network conducts collaborative, high-quality clinical research to improve vision and quality of life for people with retinal diseases. While the Network emphasizes clinical trials, it also supports other types of retina-focused research. Established in 2002 and renamed in 2019 to reflect an expanded focus beyond diabetic retinopathy, the Network includes over 140 sites and 400+ physicians across the U.S. and Canada. Funded by the National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the NIH, the Network is led by three core centers: the Chairs' Office, Coordinating Center, and NEI.
