This grant is intended to sustain a full research project: To buy material, products, cover salaries, etc...
The Wings for Life Spinal Cord Research Foundation is a non profit research organisation with the exclusive aim to perform/promote basic and clinical research related to spinal cord injury. Research projects may address all aspects of spinal cord lesions, nerve regeneration, trophic support of lesioned neurons, and functional changes induced by lesions preferentially in mammals.
Proposals should have a view to translation from the laboratory to the clinical setting and have the potential to provide real benefits to human patients. Clinical research projects can be situated in the fields of diagnosis, acute lesion management including surgery, neurology, urology, rehabilitation, and other areas related to paraplegia. Wings for Life will award Project Research Grants to institutions such as universities or hospitals, however, not to individuals.
