We are delighted to be making £15,000 available for research into congenital aniridia. Apply now.

Aniridia Network is collaborating with the charity Fight for Sight to fund a small grant.

It is part of Fight for Sight’s Small Grant scheme. It is designed to enable collection of preliminary or pilot data, that will make developing larger, follow-on funding applications more competitive.

We are jointly funding one of these awards, focused on research addressing sight loss associated with aniridia. The money is to be used over a duration of 12 months.

Aniridia Network and Fight for Sight are each contributing £7,500 provided by kind donors and sponsors in recent years.

The applications process and grant management will be handled by Fight For Sight. Aniridia Network trustees will input to the choice of which proposal will receive the money.

Aniridia Network Trustee Katie said

“This is only the second time we have offered a grant. We are excited to be growing the understanding of scientists and patients. It is only possible thanks to the amazing efforts of fundraiser and generosity of donors. We are looking forward to reading the proposals.”

Please share this opportunity with any eye doctors and researchers you know so we can get the best ideas submitted.
