The Knights Templar Eye Foundation is committed to support research that can help launch the careers of clinical and basic researchers focused on the prevention and cure of potentially blinding diseases in infants and children. We support clinical or basic research on conditions that can or may eventually be treated or prevented. Examples include but are not limited to amblyopia, congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma, retinopathy of prematurity, ocular malformations, congenital nystagmus, and other hereditary eye diseases such as retinal dystrophies or retinoblastoma.
Each year the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc invites eligible investigators to submit applications for Pediatric Ophthalmology:
Career-Starter Research Grants – up to $90,000 per grant. Applicants for these Grants are at the beginning of their academic careers and must have received a M.D., Ph.D. or equivalent degree.
Deadline: January 15, 2025
