Scoliosis Research Society Research Grant Program
SRS offers three levels of grants: Small Exploratory Grant This grant is designed specifically for new investigators who have a preliminary concept they would like to develop into a research project. The maximum grant award for this category is $10,000. The maximum duration of research is one year. The grant application should be no longer than five pages, and does not require pilot data. It should, however, be able to generate pilot data that could be used when applying for a larger grant. New Investigator Grant This grant is specifically targeted to new investigators. It is open to candidates who have received a small exploratory grant; however, it will not be awarded to those who have received prior funding from national granting organizations, such as SRS (standard grant), OREF, NSF or NIH. The maximum award is $25,000; and, the duration of research may extend up to two years. Preliminary data is suggested although not absolutely required, and the application should be limited to seven pages. Standard Investigator Grant This grant is awarded a maximum of $50,000 per year up to two years' duration, the maximum total award being $100,000. These grant applications may be in any area of spinal deformity research, although an additional funding source for grants focusing on the etiology of scoliosis is available in conjunction with the Cotrel Foundation. These grant applications require evidence that the investigator has the experience and resources to complete the proposed research. As such, preliminary data is generally required. The application is limited to 15 pages. Continuation or Extension Grant Continuation or extension of an on-going project, which has been previously funded by the Scoliosis Research Society will be considered. These additional grant requests require a report on the progress of the work completed to date. In addition, justification for the additional funding and/or time necessary to complete the project is required.You do not need to be a member of the SRS to apply for a grant.
Application deadlines: April 1StandardNew InvestigatorSmall ExploratoryContinuation/ExtensionFaxed applications will not be accepted.
Research TopicsThe Research Grant Committee feels the following topics are important areas for research. This list is not all-inclusive and should not deter other areas of spinal pathology research. 1. Evidence Based Medicine 2. Idiopathic scoliosis 3. Etiology 4. Non-op and operative treatment 5. 3D deformity of the spine and thorax 6. Adult deformity 7. Treatment and outcomes 8. Osteoporosis 1. Osteoporotic spine fractures 2. how it impacts scoliosis kyphosis management 3. how it relates to spinal deformity and instrumentation 9. Early onset scoliosis treatment 10. Sagittal imbalance 11. Congenital scoliosis 12. Neuromuscular spinal deformity 13. Deformity and reconstruction arising from spine and sacral tumor treatment 14. Thoracic insufficiency children associated with spinal deformity 15. Pulmonary outcome sequeallae following common natural history of spine deformity and treatment history.Applicants do not need to be members of the SRS.Funds are for work to be performed, not works in progress or already completed.All correspondence will be sent to the primary investigator. It is the responsibility of the primary investigator to provide information to co-investigators.The SRS Research Grant program was not developed to support research for independent manufacturers, industry development or personal business financial gain.
