The STRABOS Institute has as one of its pillars the support of scientific research in the fields of strabismus and/or amblyopia. Studies may be developed at universities, hospitals and colleges, both in Brazil and abroad, and will receive financial support. Grants are awarded directly by the STRABOS Institute. The number of grants awarded annually will depend on the relevance of the study, to be defined by the Scientific Commission, and on the availability of funds.
