OpportunityTitle: DoD Spinal Cord Injury Investigator- Initiated Research Award
Description: The SCIRP IIRA is intended to support studies that have the potential to make an important contribution to SCI research, patient care, and/or quality of life. Important aspects of this award mechanism include: &#61623; Impact: Applications should articulate both the short- and long-term impact of the proposed research. Projects must address one or more of the FY18 SCIRP IIRA Focus Areas. &#61623; Military Relevance: Projects should be relevant to spinal cord-injured military Service members, Veterans, and/or their family members and caregivers. Collaboration with military and VA researchers and clinicians is encouraged. &#61623; Preliminary Data: Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from laboratory discovery, population-based studies, a clinician&#8217;s first-hand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. Applications must include preliminary and/or published data that are relevant to the mission of the SCIRP and the proposed research project. IIRA applications may focus on any phase of research from basic through translational. Permitted research includes preclinical studies in animal models, research with human subjects, or human anatomical substances, as well as correlative studies associated with an existing clinical trial.
