NJ Commission on Spinal Cord Research Techniques Training Travel Grant supports young investigators and trainees learning hands-on techniques to advance research on spinal cord injury and disease.
Funder: New Jersey Department of Health
Due Dates (Anticipated): May 2027 (Application submission)
Funding Amounts: Up to $50,000 for one short training opportunity (approximately three months or less)
Summary: Supports hands-on techniques training for young investigators and trainees entering spinal cord research.
Key Information: Applicants must be affiliated with a qualified New Jersey research institution; only future domestic travel is eligible.
The New Jersey Commission on Spinal Cord Research, within the New Jersey Department of Health, offers this award to help young investigators and trainees entering spinal cord research learn a specific technique through an in-person visit to another laboratory. Training should build skills for the recipient’s future research and relate to the Commission’s priorities: developing interventions and cures for paralysis and other consequences of spinal cord injury and disease.
The visit is intended to provide in-depth, hands-on instruction from experts and create connections that may lead to future collaborations. Applicants are encouraged to visit a laboratory in New Jersey or elsewhere in the United States. The technique is expected to be unavailable at the applicant’s current laboratory or institution.
