The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS), opens the 2025 Research Grant and Awards cycle this week with a new Directed Research Grant.
The 2025 Directed Research Grant, funded at up to $150,000 per year for 3 years, max $450,000 total on the topic: Creation and Validation of Improved Outcomes Measures for the Assessment of Adult Spinal Deformity Patients.
Research should focus on creation and validation of improved outcomes measures for adult spinal deformity patients that can be readily applied globally and across the range of low- to high-resource healthcare systems. Priority will be given to multi-center and preferably multi-continent study applications.
In addition, applications for Resident/Fellow Grants and Exploratory Micro-Grants opened February 1, 2025.
Resident/Fellow Grants: The Resident/Fellow Research grants are meant to allow residents/fellows to pursue avenues of interest to prepare them for a lifelong research career. Open to all residents/fellows in good standing in an Orthopaedic or Neurosurgery training program.
Exploratory Mirco Grant: 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 submission window for letters of Intent for the Biedermann Innovation Award, New Investigator Grant, SRS-Cotrel Foundation Basic Science Grant and Standard Research Grants also opened February 1 and will be open through March 15 (11:59pm EST).
