CooperVision has initiated its Science and Technology (S&T) Awards Program for researchers looking into ocular surface health and anterior segment symptomology through advancement of such items as materials, devices, and compounds. It comprises two awards: The Seedling Award and the Translational Research Award. The one-year, one-time-only Seedling Award, which could provide scientists with as much as $100,000, would enable recipients to gather data in collaboration with CooperVision scientists. The results could be used toward a two-year, renewable Translational Research Award for a substantive translational research project, which would require collaboration among scientists, engineers, and clinicians. It would provide as much as $400,000 with a maximum of $250,000 for any one year.
The program is intended to bring recipients and CooperVision scientists together. Early-career and established faculty in areas other than contact lens and research are strongly encouraged to apply for either award.
