Scientific Advisors
Our Scientific Advisory Committee evaluates Pilot Project grant applications and determines which projects the Glaucoma Research Foundation will fund each year. Our Catalyst For a Cure (CFC) Advisory Board assists in identifying target objectives for the CFC research consortium and monitors the progress of CFC principal investigators.
All of our scientific advisors volunteer their time and expertise, helping to ensure that the Glaucoma Research Foundation invests in the most promising research in the fight against glaucoma.
