The CooperVision Science & Technology Award is aimed at fostering groundbreaking research in the field of myopia control.
We invite innovative researchers to submit proposals that explore novel technologies and approaches with the potential to disrupt current treatment paradigms.
Our goal is to support young and established researchers in pursuing ambitious, forward-thinking projects that push the boundaries of conventional myopia treatment wisdom.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
CooperVision are Currently Seeking Proposals for the Following Areas of Interest:
- Developing new ideas and technologies that could revolutionize myopia prevention and control
- Identifying biomarkers that could forecast patient’s response to various myopia treatments
- New approaches to understand the underlying mechanisms of myopia onset, progression, and control
- Exploring structural and optical changes associated with myopia control treatment of young (<7 yr. old) myopes
- Understanding factors influencing therapy selection of patients beginning myopia control treatment
Any researcher with Principal Investigator (PI) status holding a MD, OD, or PhD is eligible to apply.
Applicants, such as postdoctoral fellows, with a waiver of PI status must submit appropriate documentation before funding can be received.
