John A. Moran Eye Center
The John A. Moran Eye Center was designed and built based on input from focus groups consisting of individuals with varying levels of sight abilities. It is now home to more than 40 faculty members, including one of the top retinal research teams in the world. Moran researchers are involved in more than 25 active clinical trials. These studies involve more than 2,700 clinical visits each year. The Moran Eye Center's annual research grants from the National Institutes of Health exceeded $6.5 million dollars in 2005, placing it eighth in the nation for NIH grants.
The eye center became a reality as a result of a generous $3.5 million donation from University of Utah alumnus John A. Moran, coupled with many other gifts from patients, friends and organizations.
