The McPherson Eye Research Institute is pleased to announce an exciting new funding opportunity: The Glaucoma and Optic Neuropathies Research Award! Made possible by an anonymous donor’s generous gift, this competitive award provides $50,000 to advance research on either glaucoma or optic neuropathies and thereby expands our pilot awards program (which includes our AMD and RP awards) to a total of $200,000 of annual research funding! The deadline to submit applications is Sunday, November 5th, 2023.
To be considered for this award, you must (i) be a McPherson ERI member at UW–Madison and (ii) be faculty, a permanent principal investigator, or have limited PI status (see complete eligibility criteria here).
