Uitzicht
is a cooperation of several Dutch funds for people with visual impairment. These
funds finance –among other things- scientific research on the origins,
prevention and treatment of eye diseases and disorders. The notion 'eye
diseases and disorders' is interpreted in a strict way here. Cerebral blindness (blindness due to a cerebral
disorder, nothing being wrong with eye itself) is beyond the scope of
UitZicht.
Definitions of the types of research
 | fundamental research: research of which the research question is mainly defined by internal scientific motives and is primarily focussed on the increase in knowledge. In general this concerns long-term research. |
| strategic research: research of which the research question is defined by internal scientific motives, but which is also oriented to practical application, or which has as a starting point a more generally formulated practical problem taken from clinical or social practices. Generally spoken, this is middle-long-term research. |
| applied research of which the research question is based on a specific concrete problem, the aim being practical application. This mostly involves short-term research. |

| applied research aimed at the increase of independence, the ability to manage and social participation of people with visual impairment. This concerns for example research concerning general rehabilitation, education and work, parenting, study and development, auxiliary tools, technology and information processing for people with visual impairment.
