RPB Special Scholar Awards

RPB Special Scholar Awards, with grant amounts ranging between $25,000 to $75,000, are granted each Spring to encourage promising ophthalmic researchers. Candidates must be Assistant Professors, with primary appointments in the department of ophthalmology, and proposals should reflect independent research. Only one candidate per school may be nominated per spring review cycle. Awardees will be required to expend the award within two (2) years.

The spring cycle application deadline for the Special Scholar Award is January 10. This award is not available during the fall cycle. (If January 10 or July 1 falls on a weekend or a holiday, consider the following business day the deadline.)
