It provides money for a variety of programs including "Catalyst For a Cure" (CFC). Its innovative collaborative approach to research has already changed the conventional understanding of glaucoma from an eye disease to a neurodegenerative disease.CFC is a major collaborative research effort redefining how glaucoma research is conducted. This unique research model is focused on one clear objective: finding a cure for glaucoma. The CFC consortium is different from most research efforts in glaucoma both by its design and its intent. CFC HAS made key observations of changes to the visual pathways from the eye to the brain that occur in glaucoma, some of these changes occurring very early in the disease. These findings contain significant implications, whose further study may well lead to new diagnostics or treatment possibilities for glaucoma.The organization also provides seed money for creative pilot research projects that hold promise. The National Institutes of Health and large companies may pass over the young researcher with an innovative idea, if there is no precedent. Armed with evidence made possible by our Shaffer Grants, scientists can often secure the major funding necessary to bring their ideas to fruition. It is vital that the organization invest funds in new high-impact research that may lead to major government and philanthropic support. 3092275 true true false false false false false false false true true false false true false false true false false false false false false false true false false true false true false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 17 0 true 8 true false false false false false false true true false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 18 17 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X X GLAUCOMA RESEARCH FOUNDATION 4159863162 251 POST ST 600 SAN FRANCISCO CA 94108 ANDREW G IWACH MD CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 THOMAS M BRUNNER President & CEO 40.00 0.00 X X 230321 0 11493 ROBERT L STAMPER MD VICE CHAIR 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 FREDERICK H BRINKMANN Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BILL STEWART Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 ARTHUR S TAKAHARA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN W GRUNDEN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 YEHIA HASHAD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RICHARD HALPRIN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 LINDA C LINCK Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ADRIENNE L GRAVES PHD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY J DWYER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 H DUNBAR HOSKINS MD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JOHN HETHERINGTON MD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MARTIN B WAX MD Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DENNIS E SINGLETON Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 CHARLES R WILMOTH Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 MONA ZANDER Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY GRAYDON E.D.
