Description
This grant supports basic science research projects focused on pediatric scoliosis. The program encourages studies investigating the molecular and cellular mechanisms, medical imaging approaches, and biomechanical aspects underlying pediatric scoliosis. Both human and animal model research are eligible, with a strong preference for proposals that demonstrate preliminary data and include investigative teams with a proven track record in spinal deformity research. The goal is to foster innovative research that advances the understanding of pediatric scoliosis and improves patient care.
