As part of building international research collaboration, we offer annual SCI Research Collaboration Grants.

Applications for the 2023 SCI Research Collaboration Grants are now closed.

The SCI Research Collaboration Grants support recipients to attend the International Spinal Cord Society (ISCoS) Annual Scientific Meeting and participate in workshops. These grants are designed 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 ISCoS Annual Scientific Meeting. They also provide an opportunity to connect with institutions and organisations that support the grant recipient’s area of research.

The 62nd Annual Scientific Meeting of ISCoS will be held in Scotland on 8-11 October 2023.

Researchers with lived experience of SCI are encouraged to apply.

The SRI supports diversity in culture, nationality, gender, and ability.

At the 2022 ISCoS Annual Scientific Meeting the SRI’s International Research Collaborations Manager, Emma Peleg, and Chief Executive Officer, Kristine Hendry, spoke with Dr Jennifer Coker about the importance of the SCI Research Collaboration Grants in assisting early career researchers to attend ISCoS meetings. Listen to the podcast.

Dr Jennifer Coker also spoke to SCI Research Collaboration Grant recipients Merna Seliman and Nattha Boonthanakorn about their experience as early career researchers and first-time attendees at ISCoS 2022. Listen to the podcast.
