Description
The ARVO Foundation for Eye Research administers this award to help early-career investigators with initial faculty appointments establish independent vision research programs. It funds well-conceived projects in any area of vision science, emphasizing novel and innovative ideas that can generate promising preliminary results. These results are intended to support applications for longer-term funding and impactful scientific publications.
The award combines research support with career development. Recipients must have strong scientific mentorship at their home institution, and ARVO matches each recipient with an external mentor selected from senior members of the eye and vision research community. ARVO and the Foundation select recipients independently of Genentech, considering scientific impact, career benefit, available resources, and the research environment.
