DESCRIPTION:Established in Zurich in 1991 by Prof. Alain Rossier and Ulric
 h Schellenberg\, the International Foundation for Research in Paraplegia (
 IRP) supports excellent basic and clinical research worldwide in the field
  of neurosciences and the regeneration of the spinal cord. Its mission is 
 to overcome paraplegia\, step by step.\n\nThe foundation’s Research Gran
 ts support basic and clinical research on CNS Regeneration\, Neuroprotecti
 on and functional restoration with special emphasis to the spinal cord.\n\
 nNote: Basic research should not be disconnected from reality. The propose
 d projects must be relevant to the clinical situation caused by lesions of
  the spinal cord or the brain\, and their outcomes must clearly contribute
  to a better understanding of paraplegia and lesions of the brain.\n\nExam
 ples of eligible research:\n \n\n	Research projects may address all aspec
 ts of CNS and spinal cord lesions\, nerve regeneration\, trophic support o
 f lesioned neurons\, and functional changes induced by lesions\, preferent
 ially in mammals.\n	Clinical research projects can be situated in the fiel
 ds of diagnosis\, acute lesion management including surgery\, neurology\, 
 urology\, rehabilitation\, and other areas related to paraplegia.\n\n\nWho
  can apply: clinicians and scientists of any nationality working in parapl
 egia and related fields. Applications from start up groups are welcome. Po
 stdoctoral researchers are not eligible.\n\nFunding & Duration: max. CHF 1
