The Mission
The mission of the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc., is “to improve vision
through research, education, and supporting access to care.”
To that end, the Knights Templar Eye Foundation, Inc., annually announces its
call for research grant applications. The Foundation invites eligible investigators
to submit applications for pediatric ophthalmology research grants for the award
period which normally runs from July 1 to June 30.
From the applications received, the Scientific Advisory Committee recommends to
the trustees which requests should be funded.
