The Spinal Research Institute (SRI) will fund a Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) International Travel Collaboration Grant in 2018.

 

The objective of this grant is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and to build relationships between individuals, institutions and countries involved in spinal cord research by funding attendance at the 2018 International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) Annual Scientific Meeting in Sydney, Australia. It also provides an opportunity to connect with institutions and organisations that support the grant recipient's area of research.

 

The grant will provide funding of up to AUD$5000 and is open to researchers in SCI with more than two years working in the field and less than five years post PhD. It represents a unique opportunity to garner fresh ideas and collaborate with international peers.
