Nicholas J. Volpe, MD, chair of the Department of Ophthalmology, emphasized the grant's pivotal role in advancing academic missions and enhancing research initiatives within the department.
'Research to Prevent Blindness is the single largest nonfederal foundation providing research funding to ophthalmology research broadly,' Volpe stated, highlighting the significance of RPB's support.
The unrestricted $115,000 annual grant from RPB over the next five years is crucial for developing young investigators and fostering collaboration in ophthalmology.
This grant underpins Northwestern's commitment to preventing blindness through rigorous research, along with past funding initiatives aimed at enhancing the research landscape.
