Description
This grant provides pump-priming funding for researchers to collect preliminary or pilot data on projects addressing sight loss associated with glaucoma. It is jointly funded by Fight for Sight and Glaucoma UK, as part of the broader Small Grants scheme, and aims to support early-stage research that can lead to larger, follow-on funding. Projects must align with both Fight for Sight's and Glaucoma UK's research priorities, focusing on understanding, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of glaucoma-related vision loss.
