Global Impact Lab: Research Study Ideas
If you would like to pursue research or another project, please contact Laura Reynolds (lreynolds@uniteforsight.org) so that you can begin working to develop your ideas. Unite For Sight will help to guide you through the development phase of your idea. We have many research ideas and topics that are continuously identified to further enhance global health and community eye health delivery. After you work with Unite For Sight to design your research idea, you will next identify a faculty mentor at your home institution and thereafter coordinate Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval. Your faculty mentor will be able to assist you with the IRB approval process at your university.
Upon completion of your research, you are required to submit a copy of your report to Unite For Sight, and your research will be considered for presentation at GH/Innovate, Unite For Sight's Global Health & Innovation Conference.
What type of research ideas can be implemented?
- Research about patient barriers to care among children, women, and men
- Research about patient education
- Research about visual communication
- Clinical research
Unite For Sight has numerous and ongoing research ideas that are developed. Please contact us so that we can work with you to identify a research study that will be of greatest interest to you.

Community Eye Health Research: Journal Article Database
We have compiled this database of research articles for the field of eye health in developing countries. While this database may not be all-inclusive, it includes most all community eye health research articles published during the past 30 years. Global Impact Fellows utilize this database to develop new research study ideas and also to pursue literature reviews while developing research study designs.
