Prevent Blindness is currently accepting nominees for its 2017 Joanne Angle Investigator Award — a grant provided annually to a public health research project that seeks to put an end to unnecessary vision loss.
The award reportedly provides funding for research investigating public health related to eye health and safety, with priority areas in adult vision, children's vision or eye injury. Additionally, this year preference will be given to public health research that relates to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and/or glaucoma.

Named for Ms. Joanne Angle who served on the National Board of Directors for Prevent Blindness, more than $1 million have been awarded to eye and vision research projects since the award's start in 2003.
