The path in has an extra step most trial awards skip: only the Initiating PI submits a pre-application first, and only after that do all PIs — In…
Clinical trials aimed at meaningfully changing spinal cord injury treatment or management, submitted through a pre-application stage ahead of the full application, with an optional Early-Career Partnership Option for a second PI. At least two named SCI community partners must advise the project throughout.
