Description
The AMDF / RPB Catalyst Award is a partnership grant from the American Macular Degeneration Foundation (AMDF) and Research to Prevent Blindness, Inc. (RPB), designed to support bold, innovative research projects targeting age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This award specifically seeks proposals for high-risk, high-reward studies that either improve the understanding of AMD mechanisms or develop novel treatments for dry or wet forms of the disease. The collaboration leverages the resources of both organizations, aiming to maximize the impact and reach of funded research.
