Faculty Recognition Awards

Since its establishment in 1997, the Center for Vision Research (CVR) has been very productive in applying for and receiving grants from a wide-range of sources. These grant funds have allowed the CVR's investigators to work towards finding the causes and cures for numerous blinding diseases. More than $39 million in extramural funding has been awarded to CVR scientists since its inception.  We thank our many funding agencies and private donors. Please see below.
