About this opportunity

The SCIRP Translational Research Partnership Award (TRPA) mechanism was first offered in FY09. Since then, 22 TRPA applications have been received, and 8 have been recommended for funding. The intent of the TRPA is to promote multi-institutional, multidisciplinary partnerships among clinicians and basic scientists that accelerate the movement of promising ideas in spinal cord injury research into clinical applications. This award is intended to support both new and established scientists across a broad spectrum of disciplines in research projects that are likely to have a major impact on spinal cord injury research. The TRPA supports the development of translational research partnerships among two or three independent investigators (known as partners). Applications should address one or more of the FY11 SCIRP Areas of Encouragement or justify the applicability of the research to the spinal cord injured military and/or veteran population. At least one partner must be a clinician, and at least one partner must have experience in spinal cord injury basic research. A clinician is defined as an individual who is credentialed (possesses the necessary other certifications) as a care provider in any relevant capacity at the institution of record. Biosketches should include appropriate documentation of credentials. It should be clear that all partners have substantial intellectual input into the design of the research project. A proposed project in which one of the partners merely provides tissue samples or access to patients will not meet the intent of this mechanism. Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from a basic discovery, population-based studies, or a clinician�s firsthand knowledge of patients and preliminary data. While the ultimate goal of translational research is to move an observation forward into clinical application, members of the partnership should view translational research as a two-way continuum between bench and bedside. Developing the research plan must involve a reciprocal flow of ideas and information within the partnership. Developmental pathways for translational research that may be useful for designing translational research studies for support under this mechanism may be found at (http://www.cancer.gov/aboutnci/trwg/Pathways-to-Clinical-Goals). Applications must include preliminary data relevant to SCI and the proposed project. Important aspects of the TRPA are as follows: 1. Translational: The application should provide evidence for the reciprocal transfer of ideas between basic and clinical science in developing and implementing the research plan. 2. Partnership: The success of the project depends on the unique contributions of each partner. Of the two to three partners, at least one must be a clinician, and at least one must have experience in SCI basic research. 3. Multi-institutional: At least two distinct institutions must be involved. 4. Impact: The proposed research should have a significant impact on the concepts or methods that are likely to accelerate the movement of promising ideas in spinal cord injury research into clinical applications. Research involving human subjects and human anatomical substances is permitted; however, clinical trials are NOT ALLOWED under this funding opportunity. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention ( procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory , and/or efficacy. This outcome represents a direct effect on the human subject of that intervention or interaction. The SCIRP encourages clinical trials with a focus on rehabilitation through the FY11 SCIRP Clinical Trial Award � Rehabilitation mechanism (Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-11-SCIRP-CTA).
