Event details
| Date | 21.05.2020 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Spinal Cord Injury Research Program (SCIRP) Awards. The SCIRP Translational Research Award is intended to support to support translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in SCI research into clinical applications. Although not exhaustive, some examples include demonstrating studies of pharmaceuticals and medical devices in pre-clinical systems and/or clinical research on therapeutics, devices, or practice using human tissues or resources. Applications must include preliminary and/or published data that are relevant to SCI and support the proposed research project.
To meet the intent of the award mechanism, applications must address at least one of the FY20 SCIRP Focus Areas listed at the end of this announcement.
Funding: max. $1’250’000
Duration: 3 years
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Investigators at or above the level of Assistant Professor (or equivalent) are eligible to be named as the Principal Investigator (PI) on the application.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a preproposal narrative, and a list of collaborators and key personnel as suggested on the platform. Full applications (by invitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full application packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.
Pre-Application Deadline: 21-May-2020, 5:00 p.m. EST
Full Application Deadline: 25-Aug-2020, 11:59 p.m. EST
