The University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine has been granted an Unrestricted Grant from Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) in the amount of $115,000 a year to support eye research conducted by the Department of Ophthalmology. This funding has been awarded based on a thorough review of criteria, including the department’s research activities, scientific environment, and clinical and scientific staff, as evaluated by RPB’s renowned Scientific Advisory Panel.
The funds will be deployed at the discretion of the Department Chair, Dr. Jacque Duncan, to provide maximum flexibility in developing and expanding eye research programs, and to provide opportunities for creative planning that go beyond the scope of restricted project grants.
The University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine holds one of 29 RPB Unrestricted Grants nationwide.
Since it was founded in 1960, RPB has channeled more than $413 million into eye research. As a result, RPB has been identified with nearly every major breakthrough in vision research during that time.
