The Research Board

College Awards, Grants and Fellowships are decided upon by the Research Board.

The Research Board meets twice yearly (February and September / October) and the Ophthalmology Sub-Committee yearly (February). The remit of the Research Board is to evaluate the scientific merit and possible surgical relevance of research proposed by Fellows of the College.

The main applicant for grants/fellowships must be in good standing with the College. Surgeons-in-training, in particular, are encouraged to submit applications for grant funding; this can be in collaboration with more senior Fellows and/or scientists. Each application is carefully evaluated and a final decision taken at the next meeting after each closing date.
