About this program
BrightFocus Foundation’s National Glaucoma Research program funds pioneering glaucoma research worldwide to advance understanding, prevention, and treatment of glaucoma. FY26 full proposals open June 25, 2026 and are due September 24, 2026 (5:00 p.m. EST); available awards include a two‑year Postdoctoral Fellowship ($125,000) and a two‑year Standard Award ($150,000), with postdoctoral fellows eligible to apply as co‑principal investigators on the Standard Award. Applicants may be U.S. domestic or international researchers; the Standard Award typically expects preliminary data while the fellowship targets postdoctoral investigators, and the program strongly encourages applications from individuals from groups underrepresented in glaucoma research. Full application guidelines and detailed eligibility criteria will be posted when applications open.
