Emerging Vision Scientist Program
Since 2015, AEVR’s Decade of Vision 2010-2020 Initiative has hosted an annual Emerging Vision Scientists Day on Capitol Hill, supported by a grant from Research to Prevent Blindness, in which early-stage investigators from Departments of Ophthalmology and Schools/Colleges of Optometry exhibit results of their cutting-edge research and then advocate with Congressional delegations (under the auspices of NAEVR).
