If the research project involves clinical work, the team must comply with the requirements of ICH-GCP regulations, Informed Consent, and Ethics Committee approval.Follow the guidelines applicable at the time of submission. IRPO is a one-year contract program with an option to apply for a second round of funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note, while IRPO projects should lead to publication of research outcomes, FRO funding of IRPO projects is not intended to cover publication. Undertaking research, writing, and publishing a paper in one year is unrealistic. However, FRO will seek a progress report from funded IRPO projects after one year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Financial support for retinal disease research is provided by the John W. Mouton Pro Retina Fund and the Marie-Claire Li\u00e9naert Fund, managed by the King Baudouin Foundation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several Belgian ophthalmological societies can also contribute to funding for research in specific subspecialties. If your research meets the criteria and is funded by a donation from the affiliated society, the grant will be named after that society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Timeline &amp; deadlines:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\"><tbody>\n<tr><td><b> \u2022 Submission of preliminary application (Part I)<\/b><\/td><td>May 31, 2026, before midnight<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b> \u2022 Invite applicants to prepare the final application<\/b><\/td><td>Tuesday, June 16, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b> \u2022 Submission of final application (Part II)<\/b><\/td><td>August 17, 2026, before midnight<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b> \u2022 Ranking of the successful projects<\/b><\/td><td>Monday, October 26, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b> \u2022 Announcement of the successful projects<\/b><\/td><td>November 2026, during OB2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b> \u2022 Start of financing<\/b><\/td><td>Tuesday, December 1, 2026<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><b> \u2022 End of financing<\/b><\/td><td>Tuesday, November 30, 2027<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody><\/table>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The application for the IRPO (Individual Research Projects in Ophthalmology) is\u00a0<strong>in two phases<\/strong>\u00a0:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A <strong>Pre-Proposal (PART I)<\/strong> must be submitted via the website <strong>before midnight on May 31, 2026<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Selected projects will be invited to submit their <strong>final application by June 16, 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After this, the pre-selected applicants can update and <strong>finalize their project by completing and submitting PART II before midnight on August 17, 2026<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please bear in mind when completing your form that publication costs cannot be covered by FRO IRPO funding.
