Innovation Awards – Foundation Fighting Blindness
Individual Investigator Research Awards are designed to concentrate research in areas with the greatest potential to move toward treatments and cures for the inherited orphan retinal degenerative diseases and dry age-related macular degeneration. This award provides approximately $100,000 per year up to three (3) years.
The Foundation Fighting Blindness will also award up to three Clinical Innovation Awards that address: (1) developing and applying new technology to measure structure and function in inherited retinal degenerations; (2) establish relationships between measures of retinal functional and retinal structure with the goal of understanding the relationship between genotype and clinical phenotype; (3) identifying outcome measures or biomarkers to demonstrate change over a time period spanning no more than 2 to 3 years.
