EyeFind Research Grants

Association for Research in Vision and Opthalmology

The use of human eye tissue in experiments can be critical to effectively addressing a researcher’s scientific question, particularly those involving uniquely human ocular disease. Many preliminary research projects do not have sufficient funding to cover the cost of procuring a sufficient supply of human eye tissue to carry out initial experiments.

EyeFind Research Grants provide supplemental funding in grants of up to $5,000 per project to researchers to procure human eye tissue samples from eye banks for use in a well-conceived research project. The applicant must demonstrate financial need related to procuring and using human eye tissue to continue their research.

Deadline: May 31, 2026
