There is only 2 weeks left (deadline: 21st January) to enter the second round of the CPN Challenge - https://www.omnicompete.com/cpnchallenge.html. In this round, we're giving out 12 grants of at least $50,000 across 6 award categories for innovative and novel research related to Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) treatments. Part of a larger Challenge Program, these grants have a quick and straight forward application process, and we’re particularly eager to hear from research(ers) in the following areas:
- New Investigators (recently hired SCI researchers or established researchers who recently started working on SCI)
- Collaborative Research (eg: nanotechnology and biochemistry)
- Cross-Over Research from adjacent scientific fields that can be applied to the field of SCI
- Translational Research from animal experiments towards human clinical trials
- Reaching & Grasping (research to help restore reaching and grasping function for human SCI patients)
- Out of the Box Ideas (risky, high potential research ideas)
- Sharable Data (The Trial & Error Prize - http://bit.ly/1R0KHQd is looking for research that can be shared so that the SCI community can learn from each other and not duplicate experiments)
