RPB meaning in Community ?

Research to Prevent Blindness (RPB) is a nonprofit organization created in 1960 by Jules Stein, the founder of Music Corporation of America, to stimulate research to eliminate blinding diseases. It supports eye research directed at the prevention, treatment or eradication of all diseases that threaten vision.

In pursuit of this objective, RPB has committed hundreds of millions of dollars in grants to support high-impact vision research. RPB's grant-making programs provide major eye research funding to leading scientific institutions in the U.S. and support the work of hundreds of talented vision scientists engaged in a diverse range of disease-oriented research.

RPB's far-reaching activities are planned and carried out with the expert advice and guidance of a Scientific Advisory Panel composed of distinguished leaders in the field of medical science.
