Grants to New York nonprofit organizations and government agencies for medical research addressing spinal cord injuries. Some applicants must register and prequalify prior to submitting an application. Proposals will be considered for early-stage research that can be advanced into mid/late-stage translational and/or pre-clinical research.
The SCIRB’s mission and goal is to:
The SCIRB’s mission is to stimulate high-quality, innovative SCI research that will help promote treatment and cure for SCI, including methods for reversing paralysis or restoring function caused by injury, or for minimizing or preventing damage occurring during acute phases of injury. To achieve this mission, the Program offers competitive research awards to support the New York State scientists and their collaborators from a variety of biomedical disciplines in initiating and pursuing such efforts.
Purpose of the Funds:
The SCIRB wishes to stimulate the growth of SCI research and to accelerate the pace with which basic (preclinical) findings are translated into clinical benefits for spinal cord-injured persons. In addition, SCIRB wishes to fill fundamental gaps in knowledge that are barriers to scientific advances in SCI research.
This Request for Applications (RFA) offers researchers the opportunity to advance well-proven hypotheses and early translational research findings into mid/late-stage translational and/or pre-clinical research that has a clear and feasible translational path to clinical application. The RFA also offers the opportunity to validate and optimize or iteratively refine devices, tools and technologies to treat or cure SCI paralysis in ways that significantly improve current capabilities.
Estimated Total Program Funding:
Number of Grants:
Estimated Size of Grant:
The contract term will be up to five years. It is expected that contracts resulting from this RFA will have the following time period: 10/1/2022 – 9/30/2027.
