Research Grants Awarded by Future Vision Foundation
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.
