Funding research

The Nystagmus Network regularly funds research initiatives in the UK. We also help to find volunteers for projects.

To support these projects and future research, please join NN. A growing proportion of our income goes into funding research. The bigger our income, the more research we can support.

Please note that, for cost reasons, projects mentioned on this website can only consider volunteers living in the UK unless otherwise specified.

Finding volunteers

Just as important as funding is finding volunteers to take part in medical, scientific, social and educational research. The more members we have, the more potential research volunteers we have and the quicker we can make progress in understanding and possibly treating nystagmus.

Vision scientists, doctors and other professionals increasingly contact us asking for help with research. We are very happy to assist where we can. So, if you're a student, ophthalmologist, optometrist, orthoptist, vision scientist, psychologist, teacher or have some other professional interest in finding out more nystagmus, please email us at john.sanders@nystagmusnet.org

We can help you by:

• Supplying volunteers
• Providing research topics
• Putting you in contact with other researchers
• Supporting your funding applications
• We may also be able to provide direct financial support, but our funds are very limited
