Description
Exploratory Micro Research Grants from the Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) are designed to foster diversity and innovation within the field of spinal pathology. These grants specifically encourage applications from individuals and teams who do not typically receive major research awards—such as those at smaller institutions, from under-resourced countries, or those proposing unconventional or non-traditional research projects. Eligible activities include research, education, advocacy, quality and safety improvement, and other creative initiatives that can advance patient care or professional growth in spinal deformity.
