IRP Research Grant
IRP invites researchers active in the field of basic or clinical research on CNS Regeneration, Neuroprotection and functional restoration with special emphasis to the spinal cord to submit their application for an IRP Research Grant.
Funds will be allocated up to 150,000 Swiss Francs for two years on the basis of scientific quality and relevance to paraplegia for research proposals studying mechanisms of injury and repair, as well as long term recovery.
IRP finances research projects regardless of the nationality of the researcher but applications for IRP Research Grants are considered only for projects that are realized in Europe.
Research projects may address all aspects of CNS and spinal cord lesions, nerve regeneration, trophic support of lesioned neurons, and functional changes induced by lesions, preferentially in mammals. Clinical research projects can be situated in the fields of diagnosis, acute lesion management including surgery, neurology, urology, rehabilitation, and other areas related to paraplegia.
