Description
The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) Standard Research Grant supports spinal deformity research expected to produce a completed project suitable for a well-received podium presentation at the SRS Annual Meeting. The program aims to establish a sustained avenue of investigation and help investigators pursue larger grants from organizations such as NIH or OREF. It funds an initial project; investigators should not expect SRS to fund its next stage.
Scientific merit is central, with emphasis on questions that could advance care for patients with spinal deformity. Review considers innovation, clear and reasonable aims, a strong scientific premise, appropriate methods, and the feasibility of producing meaningful results. The SRS Research Agenda identifies important areas of inquiry but does not exclude proposals addressing other areas of spinal pathology.
