<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">The Trustees of
the Rank Prize Funds have decided to offer a number of
awards, each worth £5,000, for final year PhD students
in UK universities which have a major commitment to
teaching and research in optoelectronics, including
vision and the eye. The scheme is intended to support
students whose studies have been disrupted by the
restrictions imposed in response to the COVID-19
pandemic and who would not otherwise have the
financial resources to be able to complete their
studies in a timely manner. They should not be in
receipt of similar funding from another source.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black">Each university
is invited to nominate up to two (maximum) final year
optoelectronics (including vision and the eye) PhD
students to receive an award. No more than two
applications may be submitted per university and the
expectation is that it is highly unlikely that more
than one will be funded. The two applicants should be
from different departments or schools of the
University and if two applications are submitted they
will need to be rank-ordered by the University. A
copy of this email has been sent to the following
departments in your University:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
