 to overcome paraplegia\, step by step.\n\nThe foundation’s Research Gran

 on and functional restoration with special emphasis to the spinal cord.\n\
 nNote: Basic research should not be disconnected from reality. The propose

  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

 f CNS and spinal cord lesions\, nerve regeneration\, trophic support of le
 sioned neurons\, and functional changes induced by lesions\, preferentiall
 y in mammals.\n	Clinical research projects can be situated in the fields o
 f diagnosis\, acute lesion management including surgery\, neurology\, urol
 ogy\, rehabilitation\, and other areas related to paraplegia.\n\n\nWho can
  apply: clinicians and scientists of any nationality working in paraplegia
  and related fields. Applications from start up groups are welcome. Postdo
 ctoral researchers are not eligible.\n\nFunding & Duration: max. CHF 150
