Description
This grant, offered by Fight for Sight in partnership with DEBRA, provides small-scale funding to clinical or research scientists for projects focused on vision loss associated with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). Its purpose is to enable the collection of pilot or preliminary data, thereby increasing competitiveness for future, larger-scale funding. Applicants from both within and outside the vision research field are welcome, provided the project addresses sight loss in EB. The grant encourages innovative, foundational studies that will advance understanding, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of EB-related vision loss.
