DescResearch - FFB funded researchers are achieving remarkable success with a wide range of promising therapies for saving and restoring sight. The Foundation, and its subsidiary Foundation Fighting Blindness Clinical Research Institute (FFB CRI), have funded translational research and clinical trials of gene therapy that have restored vision in patients who were virtually blind from a childhood form of retinitis pigmentosa. Thanks to the therapy, they can now enjoy some of life's simple joys, like reading and playing baseball. The Foundation, and its subsidiary FFB CRI, have funded cross cutting drug treatment therapies, showing potential for slowing vision loss caused by retinal diseases. (Continued on page 53)FFB CRI has launched a human trial to test a drug that may preserve vision in people with a specific form of retinitis pigmentosa. Foundation funded researchers are using stem cells derived from a variety of sources, including a person's own skin, to create healthy retinal cells that can potentially restore vision. Stem cell treatments hold great promise for people with advanced vision loss. In addition, the Foundation has committed $9 million to existing research projects based on future milestones and has set aside $52 million for future innovative opportunities. This gives the Foundation the flexibility and opportunity to invest in upcoming large-scale studies and clinical trials when they become available.Desc

ExplanationEach grantee is required to submit a yearly scientific progress report, which is reviewed by the FFB science staff and compared with the proposed milestones submitted with the original grant application. Attention is also given to the plan for experiments to be performed in the coming year. Any problems or issues identified by the grantee and/or FFB scientific staff are resolved to our mutual satisfaction; however, if a consensus cannot be reached or if the apparent progress is not satisfactory in the opinion of FFB scientific staff, after consultation with members of the FFB Scientific Advisory Board, the grant is terminated with a short phase out period. Each grantee is required to submit a yearly financial report detailing grant expenditures according to their FFB approved grant budget. Science staff review each financial report for adherence to budgeted expenditures in each category. With proper documentation and if determined appropriate, requests for carryover of unexpended funds to the next fiscal year are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis.ExplanationTxt

ExplanationEach grantee is required to submit a yearly scientific progress report, which is reviewed by the FFB science staff and compared with the proposed milestones submitted with the original grant application. Attention is also given to the plan for experiments to be performed in the coming year. Any problems or issues identified by the grantee and/or FFB scientific staff are resolved to our mutual satisfaction; however, if a consensus cannot be reached or if the apparent progress is not satisfactory in the opinion of FFB scientific staff, after consultation with members of the FFB Scientific Advisory Board, the grant is terminated with a short phase out period. Each grantee is required to submit a yearly financial report detailing grant expenditures according to their FFB approved grant budget. Science staff review each financial report for adherence to budgeted expenditures in each category. With proper documentation and if determined appropriate, requests for carryover of unexpended funds to the next fiscal year are reviewed and approved on a case-by-case basis.ExplanationTxt
