Calling All Researchers

The Foundation Fighting Blindness just announced a special emphasis on MYO7A-related research within their current Individual Investigator Research Award and Clinical Innovation Award calls and are encouraging all researchers focusing on applicable work to apply for this call for proposals.

Based on landscape analysis and conversations with key stakeholders and researchers, the FFB have identified a number of gaps in MYO7A-related research. They feel that these challenges can best be addressed through programs outlined within the call for proposals, however, they also welcome MYO7A-related research proposals through any of their award mechanisms.

Save Sight Now along with other entities raises over $500,000 annually to fund research that can impact people living with Usher syndrome type 1B. We have the ability to fund and sustain significant research.
