Description

The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Spinal Cord Injury Research Program (SCIRP) Investigator-Initiated Research Award (IIRA) supports studies that have the potential to make an important contribution to spinal cord injury (SCI) research, patient care and/or quality of life. The research may focus on any phase from basic through translational science, though studies solely identifying intervention targets are discouraged. This funding opportunity includes an Early-Career Partnership Option allowing two Principal Investigators, with at least one being an early-career investigator. The program expects to fund approximately 6 awards with a total funding of about $4.96 million and a maximum period of performance of 3 years.
