Description
The Biedermann Innovation Research Award, administered by the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), supports innovative research by young clinical investigators in spinal deformity. It particularly emphasizes proposals designed to enhance innovation in treatment and advance care for patients with spinal deformity. Recipients should have demonstrated promise in clinical or translational research, and funding supports work yet to be performed rather than research already underway or completed.
Selection is based on scientific merit, including the significance of the problem, innovation of the approach, and strength of the scientific premise. Projects should have clear, reasonable aims and a feasible design capable of delivering meaningful results. The SRS Research Agenda identifies priority areas but does not exclude proposals addressing other areas of spinal pathology research.
