Description
Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Universal Research Enhancement (CURE) program supports spinal cord injury research through the Department of Health’s Health Research Office. RFA #67-203 seeks to foster innovative research into treatment and rehabilitative techniques, with the overall objective of improving function for people with spinal cord injuries.
CURE was authorized by Act 2001-77, the Tobacco Settlement Act, as a state health research program supporting clinical, health services, and biomedical research. It awards both noncompetitive formula grants and competitive non-formula grants issued through Requests for Applications. This spinal cord injury opportunity is administered within that broader research framework, with program oversight informed by the Health Research Advisory Committee and, for spinal cord work, the Spinal Cord Research Advisory Committee.
