Description
This scheme funds clinical research projects addressing visual impairment related to nystagmus, with a focus on quality of life, underlying causes (including genetic factors), diagnostic methods, or treatments. The grant is designed to help researchers—especially early career scientists, new investigators, or those returning to research—collect preliminary or pilot data to strengthen future applications for major funding. Projects must align with the research priorities of both Fight for Sight and the Nystagmus Network, and must be conducted within the UK.
