If you’re a spinal cord injury researcher or clinician, we’re asking you to write about your research in 800 words or less. This is a unique opportunity to present your research to a broad-ranging, non-scientific audience, and that’s why we’d like you to use easy-to-understand language.

We’re excited about the spinal cord injury research that is being conducted around the world, in developed and developing nations. We understand that submitting an entry for this prize may be challenging for researchers and clinicians whose first language is not English. That’s why we’re committed to offering special consideration and support for these authors, particularly those from countries with low to very-low English language proficiency.

All shortlisted entries will be published in the fourth edition of Why Research Matters, and their authors will be offered a place in a workshop that explores research translation and impact. This is the fourth year of the SCI Writing Prize, and the first three editions of ‘Why Research Matters’ are below.

Entries close on 10 September, so get busy writing!
