Call for New FPRN® Research Proposals!

Submission Deadline: Sunday, October 5, 2025 at 11:59PM PST

What are we looking for?
Feasible, high impact studies that address a gap in our current knowledge and utilize the multi-center nature of our network. Given the typical timeline study designs, including case/control; retrospective cohort; and well-conceived cross-sectional study designs can be enhanced by considering multi-center data access and generation.

How detailed should my proposal be?
Given the short turnaround time from starting fellowship to this deadline, we encourage EVERYONE that is interested to apply, even if the research projects/proposals are in preliminary phases. There will be an opportunity to refine timeline, budget, design and feasibility prior to presentation at AAGL if chosen.

Deadline to Submit: Sunday, October 5, 2025 at 11:59PM PST
Proposal Presentation: At the FPRN^® Meeting during the 54th AAGL Global Congress on MIGS in Vancouver, BC, CAN
