Description
The Fight for Sight Small Grant supports researchers in vision science to collect preliminary or pilot data, making their future applications for larger funding more competitive. This grant is open to projects addressing sight loss caused by any eye disease or condition not already included in Fight for Sight’s partnership awards. The scheme is designed to foster innovation and build research capacity, particularly welcoming early-career researchers, new investigators, those returning or new to vision research, and researchers working on rare eye conditions. The focus is broad, aligning with Fight for Sight’s priorities of understanding, prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of eye disease and sight loss.
