It is an unrestricted grant for $110,000. RPB has provided more than $3.5 million in grants to UF College of Medicine over the last 30-plus years.
“It’s heartening to know that there’s an organization that wants to make sure that vision is preserved and that people who could be at risk for blindness have help, and as a department we appreciate their confidence in us,” said William T. Driebe Jr., MD, chair of UF department of ophthalmology, in the release. “The length of support will tell you that this is a department with longstanding interest and performance in vision research and ways to help people preserve their sight.”
As an unrestricted grant, the funding does not have to be used for just one specific area.
