Objectiu de la convocatòria
Funding for pioneering research leading to greater understanding, prevention, and treatment of age-related macular degeneration.
Característiques principals
The MDR program offers three types of awards:

  • Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: support for young postdoctoral researchers during their final stages of mentored training. The award provides salary support for a young scientist to conduct postdoctoral studies in an established laboratory focused on research contributing to understanding the biological causes and/or new clinical treatment of macular degeneration and should also serve as the basis for the applicant's own independent research career.
    - Award Amount: $100,000 per year (total value $200,000)
    - Duration: 2 years

  • New Investigator Grant Program: support for investigators during their early years as an independent investigator involved in studies that have an impact on the causes and/or treatment of macular degeneration.
    - Award Amount: $150,000 per year (total value $450,000)
    - Duration: up to 3 years

  • Innovative Research Grants: support for high-risk/high-gain age-related macular degeneration research. We hope to attract established investigators to apply for this support, but the aims of the application must contain outside-the-box ideas that are novel in the field. Applicants who are experts in another field are encouraged to apply their talents to proposing innovative research in the macular degeneration field.
    - Award Amount: $200,000 per year (total value $600,000)
    - Duration: up to 3 years
