The Foundation Fighting Blindness annually makes available funds to support
clinician-scientists in their first- or second-year fellowship. *Clinical
Research Fellowship Award* (CRFA) provides one year of support for aspiring
clinician-scientists interested in inherited retinal degenerations. *The
one-year award is $65,000.*

*Eligibility *
Clinicians who possess an *M.D., D.O., O.D*., or recognized *equivalent
foreign degree* by the time the fellowship starts and will be eligible for
subspecialty board certification at the completion of their training
program are eligible to apply for a CRFA.

   - Ophthalmology residents or fellows with an interest in inherited
   retinal degenerations could apply for both a fellowship position and a CRFA
   in the final year of their residency program.
   - Ophthalmology residents or fellows with an interest in inherited
   orphan retinal degenerations could apply for a CRFA the year before
   applying for the fellowship position itself, allowing the applicant and
   institution to know about funding prior to the fellowship application.

Applications may be submitted by candidates in coordination with domestic
and foreign, public and private, academic institutions, as well as
hospitals and laboratories affiliated with such institutions. *Individuals
from underrepresented racial, ethnic and gender groups, as well as
individuals with disabilities, are always encouraged to apply. *

*Have questions? Schedule a meeting using this link.
