 FY20 Macular Degeneration-Letter of Intent
 
BrightFocus provides funds to researchers pursuing pioneering research leading to greater understanding, prevention, and treatment of age-related macular degeneration.

The goal of the program is to accelerate advances in fundamental and translational research in age-related macular degeneration, to understand the mechanisms underlying the etiology and pathogenesis of macular degeneration and to develop innovative approaches to better diagnose, prevent or delay the progress of the disease. Preference is made for exciting pilot projects that would not, at their present stage, be competitive for large government or industry awards.

Horizon 2020 Spotlight

 

RICH 2020- Research Infrastructures Consortium for Horizon 2020
 Transnational & Virtual Access of European Research Infrastructures (RI) 
 
Research Infrastructures are facilities, sources and services that assist researchers to conduct research while using facilities that are not located in or owned by each institution. 
There are two types: 
Transnational Access (TA)- equipment located in either one location or a net of infrastructures in various places. 
Virtual Access (VA)- on-line infrastructures. 
If application to the RI is granted, researchers will gain free use of the facility. Some RIs also cover the cost of transportation and accommodation (each RI has its own policy). 
 
 
For each RI, the application is submitted separately and directly according to its guidelines.
