New Vision Research
New Vision Research (NVR) is a private non-profit organization that is transforming the way medical research is funded by investing in researchers with innovative ideas, early in their career. NVR specifically supports individuals who push the boundaries of current research and whose high-risk approaches may be less likely to be funded through traditional means.
NVR fosters collaboration by sponsoring conferences in disease specific areas, including it’s principle conference, the Charleston Conferences on Alzheimer’s Disease (CCAD), NVR also identifies and supports emerging leaders with innovative research in their fields through it’s New Vision Research Scholar programs.
