Aim: BrightFocus provides research funds for U.S. and international researchers pursuing pioneering research leading to greater understanding, prevention, and treatment of glaucoma.
The standard award provides significant funding for 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.
Duration: 2 years
Funding: USD $200’000
Eligibility: Typically these awards are made to early stage investigators, or to more established investigators who are proposing particularly innovative research. The Principal Investigator (PI) position is open to tenure- and non-tenure track investigators of any career stage who are appropriately trained to lead an independent research study, and are permitted by their organizations to manage grants and supervise key personnel. Additionally, Postdoctoral Fellows may be listed as a Co-Principal Investigator.
How to Apply: Applications must be submitted through the online portal. Instructions for submission can be found here. More detailed instructions for the application can be downloaded once you’ve registered on the portal.
