The 2017 ARVO/VSS Research Fellowship Award application is now open through January 31, 2017.

The purpose of the ARVO/VSS Research Fellowship is to encourage and foster new collaborations between clinical and basic vision researchers to better train young scientists in the area of translational research. These fellowships will provide research funds to support students who wish to acquire training in a cross-disciplinary lab to promote their ability to perform translational research and compete for research funding as their career matures.

If you know of ARVO Members-in-Training who may be interested in translational research, please encourage them to apply.
