Summary: Supports pilot research on retinoblastoma to improve understanding, treatment, and outcomes for childhood eye cancer.
This grant, jointly offered by Fight for Sight and the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust (CHECT), funds early-stage research into retinoblastoma. The scheme is designed to help researchers collect preliminary or pilot data that will strengthen future, larger funding applications in vision research. Projects should focus on deepening understanding of retinoblastoma, developing more effective and less harmful treatments, preserving vision, and minimizing negative impacts on affected children and families. The grant aligns with both Fight for Sight’s and CHECT’s research priorities in childhood eye cancer.
