Research Grants Program
Since its launch in 2011, the Macular Disease Foundation Australia Research Grants Program has committed almost $3.0 million to support world leading Australian researchers.
The aim of the Research Grants Program is to fulfill the Foundation’s objective to support research to reduce the incidence and impact of macular degeneration and ultimately to find a cure for this chronic disease.
The Foundation’s Grants and Fellowships make significant contributions to Australian medical, low vision and nutritional research into macular degeneration. They are awarded following rigorous evaluation, based largely on the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) process, along with international peer review, to ensure that the successful applicants meet the highest standards.
