1 About the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation: Founded in 1942, the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation envisions a healthier world through sustained support for basic and clinical medical research. The Foundation works to accomplish its mission through education and advocacy and, most notably, through a prestigious annual awards program. Lasker Award winners are selected by their peers, who, like themselves, include the world’s most accomplished and well-respected medical research scientists, and thus the award represents a special honor. The Foundation’s education and advocacy missions focus on engaging the public and policymakers on the importance of robust medical research programs and the funding to make them possible. The Lasker Foundation is also dedicated to supporting and inspiring the next generation of research scientists.

2 About the International Retinal Research Foundation: The IRRF upholds a commitment to accelerate and sustain targeted research efforts into the diseases of the human eye, especially those affecting the retina and macula, to discover the causes, preventions, and cures of retinal and macular degenerative diseases and diabetic retinopathy. The IRRF accomplishes its mission by providing financial support for vision research directly, as well as through training fellowships, public awareness programs, and the promotion of the exchange of research findings.
