6. Small grants

Small grant awards of up to £15,000 are offered to clinical or research scientists to support small pilot studies such as generation of preliminary data or feasibility studies which would not normally attract funding. The aim is to make larger follow up funding grants more competitive.

We have partnered with Fight for Sight to offer a small grant up to £15,000 to clinical or research scientists to support vision loss related research in Epidermolysis Bullosa and should be used to collect preliminary/pilot data to develop follow on applications. Researchers currently working in fields outside of vision research are welcome to apply.
