This is a Department of Defense spinal cord injury research grant for translational research — moving promising SCI ideas toward clinical application — with about 4 awards from $8.32 million total. It is for research teams that can name an SCI community partner; if your work has nothing to do with spinal cord injury or clinical research, do not apply. Retail, finance, food, and general tech or education businesses should look elsewhere.

DoD Spinal Cord Injury Research Program Translational Research Award funds translational research moving promising SCI ideas toward clinical applications. Unrestricted eligibility: any entity type may apply, including for-profits, universities, nonprofits, and individuals. Requires an SCI community partner; early-career partnership option available.
Summary: The fiscal year 2026 (FY26) Spinal Cord Injury Research Program (SCIRP) Translational Research Award (TRA) supports translational research that will accelerate the movement of promising ideas in spinal cord injury (SCI) research into clinical applications. Distinctive Features:
• This funding opportunity contains an Early-Career Partnership Option, which allows for two principal investigators (PIs). If this option is selected, at least one of the named PIs must be an early-career investigator. Only the initiating PI will submit a pre-application, but all PIs will need to submit full applications. The partnering PI’s application is an abbreviated package specific to their distinct portion of the research project. If recommended for funding, each PI will be named on a separate award to the recipient organization(s). Be advised, all associated applications for a research project may be withdrawn if the initiating or partnering application is rejected or administratively withdrawn.
• Applications to this funding opportunity must name at least one SCI community partner (e.g., SCI Lived-Experience Consultant, representative of community-based organizations) who will provide advice and consultation throughout the planning and implementation of the research project.
The listing does not include detailed eligibility text. Check the official listing before you apply.
