cochrane eyes and vision group
CEVG@US
The Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group US (CEVG@US) project is funded by the National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The overall objective of the project is to develop a critical mass of US-based vision researchers and practitioners who are trained in preparing and using systematic reviews as part of the CEVG. The CEVG@US group aims to accomplish four main goals:
- Expand awareness of evidence-based health care in general and in eyes and vision specifically
- Develop a critical mass of vision researchers who are able to perform and interpret systematic reviews, and train others to do the same
- Develop a critical mass of clinicians who use the results of systematic reviews as an evidence base to guide their practice, and to train others to do the same
- Generate an increased number of systematic reviews in priority vision research areas, published in The Cochrane Library and in the traditional vision research literature.
