Research to Prevent Blindness - Research Grants

Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) provides grants to high-performing U.S.-based departments of ophthalmology and to their high-potential investigators. There is an RPB grant categoryavailable to a scientist at any stage in his or her career -- from a medical student considering academic eye research to a seasoned investigator extending the frontiers of vision science. The unrestricted nature of RPB grants allows for the greatest flexibility in the pursuit of breakthrough discoveries.  

Departments of ophthalmology must have a Research to Prevent Blindness Unrestricted/Challenge Grant (U/C) Grant in order to apply for individual grants, and only permanent, full-time department chairs are eligible to apply for any RPB grants. Applications for all RPB grants must be submitted by the chairman of a department of ophthalmology.
