Research Grants Panel

 

The Research Grants Panel for the MDFA Research Grants Program 2021 consists of members of the MDFA Research Committee and two guest panellists.

MDFA Research Committee members:

  • A/Prof Tony Kwan (Chair)
  • Dr Fred Chen

  • Ms Dee Hopkins (MDFA, CEO)
  • Ms Imelda Lynch (MDFA Board Member)
  • A/Prof Peter van Wijngaarden

Guest panellists:

This year, MDFA has also invited selected early career researchers and clinicians, engaged in eye research, to observe the evaluation proceedings of the Research Grant Review Panel. The aim is to support the careers of these observers, by providing valuable insight to better understand the process in which research applications are assessed.

Observers:

  • Dr Joshua Chu-Tan
  • Dr Angelica Ly

Note: Observers do not vote on grant applications.

MDFA wishes to thank all the panellists for contributing their time and expertise to the MDFA Research Grants Program 2021.
