Description

The RPB / LCIF Award is intended to provide seed funding for high-risk/high-gain, innovative, cutting-edge research which demonstrates out-of-the-box thinking. We strongly encourage interdisciplinary collaboration within the scope of the proposed research.

Intervention development, proof of concept studies, and feasibility studies are eligible. Phase II trials are eligible if the applicant clearly demonstrates that the LVRA budget covers the cost of the Phase II trial; or if not, the applicant needs to explain how he/she proposes to secure additional funding.The proposed research cannot be funded - previously or currently - by NEI, NIH, or other federal funders, although modest initial funding by private funders/foundations is acceptable. The purpose of the award is to serve as a catalyst to specific lines/kinds of research not currently happening.
