Event details
| Date | 09.07.2018 |
| 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) for 2018. The intent of the SCIRP Qualitative Research Award is to support qualitative research studies that will help researchers and clinicians better understand the experiences of individuals with SCI and thereby identify the most effective path(s) for adjusting to disability and/or improving overall quality of life, health, and functional status after SCI. This mechanism is specifically focused on military and Veteran populations in the years after SCI, examining the issues, barriers, and promoters of success for Service members during the transition from initial injury and acute care through rehabilitation and community reintegration; therefore, collaboration with military and VA researchers and clinicians is encouraged.
To meet the intent of the award mechanism, all applications must address at least one or more of the FY18 SCIRP QRA Focus Areas, which are listed at the end of this announcement.
Funding: Maximum USD $ 500’000
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Independent investigators at all academic levels are eligible to submit applications.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a list of collaborators and key personnel, a proposal narrative, and supporting documents 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: 09 July 2018, 5:00 p.m. EST (23:00 CET)
Full Application Deadline: 15 October 2018, 11:59 p.m. EST (05:59 16 Oct, CET)
