The FY26 Spinal Cord Injury Research Program Translational Research Award supports projects that move promising spinal cord injury research into clinical applications. It features an Early-Career Partnership Option allowing two PIs, including at least one early-career investigator. Applicants must include an SCI community partner to provide ongoing consultation. Separate awards are issued to each PI if funded, and all PIs must submit full applications.
Open to any type of entity, with no explicit restrictions. Requires at least one SCI community partner involved in the research project. Early-career investigators can participate as partnering PIs under the Early-Career Partnership Option.
