The Biedermann Innovation Research Award shall be designed to support innovative research by young clinical investigators in the field of spine deformity.
General Guidelines
New investigator research grants are meant to stimulate younger members into a career of investigation in spinal deformity.
The Resident/Fellow Research grants are meant to allow residents/fellows to pursue avenues of interest to prepare them for a lifelong research career.
Exploratory Micro research grants are meant to promote the diversity of the SRS membership and encourage members who do not typically receive major research awards to advance their creative ideas.
The SRS-Cotrel Foundation basic science research grant is conceived to support projects that will be performing work in Pediatric Scoliosis. Projects investigating molecular and cellular mechanisms, medical imaging as well as characterizing biomechanical aspects underlying the disease are eligible.
Basic science research using human populations or animal models are highly encouraged.
The expectation for a standard research grant is that the successfully completed project would be of a quality of a well-received podium presentation at the SRS Annual Meeting. The Society expects that these grants will lay the foundation for a sustained avenue of investigation and allow the investigator(s) to seek larger grants from sources such as the NIH or OREF. Investigators who have been funded at this level should not plan on nor expect that the “next step” in a project will be funded by the SRS after completion of their initial work.
Do you have to be member of SRS to apply for a grant?
How do I apply for a SRS Grant?
When using the online application, can I save my work and come back to it?
Does having outside funding for a project disqualify me for SRS funding for the same project?
What does "Continuation" mean?
Can I include PI or Co-I salaries in my budget?
What does "% effort for Personnel" mean?
If my grant is awarded, can I submit my findings as an abstract to another meeting?
If my grant is awarded, will Facilities and Administrative costs be covered?
Can travel costs be covered by research grant funds?
When developing the Research Plan, do references count in the page limit?
