Spinal Cord Injury Program awards

Grants awarded for spinal cord injury cure research

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health through a competitive Request for Proposals process has awarded the following prominent researchers grants since 2008. The intent is to support investigators who have demonstrated outstanding research potential and a commitment to spinal cord injury cure research to further develop their research, their careers, and generate knowledge about spinal cord injuries. The goal of the program is to promote treatments to overcome the effects of chronic spinal cord injury.
