BrightFocus Foundation

Grants will be awarded for basic, translational, and clinically oriented research on the causes of, or treatments for glaucoma. Two grant opportunities are available:

• Standard Awards — Grants will be awarded to researchers who have already generated some amount of preliminary data, but are often required to demonstrate additional, significant progress before they can apply to governmental or industrial funding agencies.
• Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards — Grants will be awarded to young researchers in their final stages of mentored training. The fellowship is available to researchers within four years of degree conferral or end of residency or fellowship.

Eligible applicants must have held an academic rank equivalent or higher than assistant professor.
