Description
This grant, a partnership between Fight for Sight and DEBRA, is dedicated to supporting research into vision loss associated with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). The scheme is designed to help clinical or research scientists—especially those gathering preliminary or pilot data—build a foundation for larger-scale funding applications in vision research. Both clinical and non-clinical projects are eligible, and the scheme actively encourages researchers from outside vision science, including those working primarily in EB or related rare disease fields, to apply. The goal is to foster new research directions and expand capacity in vision-related EB research.
