The Future Vision Foundation has announced the successful applicants for the first round of grant funding.
Launched in 2021 by Vision Eye Institute, the not-for-profit research foundation encourages and supports the research efforts of staff and associated clinicians. This includes staff with little-to-no formal research experience but who are keen to improve diagnosis, treatments and/or healthcare experiences for patients with eye conditions.
Seventeen applications were reviewed by the Foundation’s advisory committee using criteria based on current NHMRC guidelines. A shortlist was then considered by the distinguished board of directors, including A/Prof Tim Roberts, Ms Fiona Davies, Mr Joe Redner, Mr James Thiedeman and Prof Fiona Stapleton.
