International Foundation for Research in Paraplegia (IRP): Various Programs

- Research Prize: is awarded to researchers on the basis of the significance of their scientific contributions in the cellular, molecular and clinical aspects of spinal cord development, plasticity and regeneration following lesions. The Prize sum of 100,000 Swiss Francs (~ $112K) is to be used for research purposes (personnel, equipment or supplies).

- Research Grant: Basic and Clinical Research on CNS Regeneration, Neuroprotection and Functional Restoration with special emphasis on the spinal cord. Funding: 75,000 Swiss Francs (~ $78K) for 1 year; 150,000 Swiss Francs (~$155K) for 2 years on the basis of scientific quality and relevance to paraplegia for research proposals studying mechanisms of injury and repair, as well as long term recovery. Applications from start up groups are welcome.

- Post-doctoral Fellowship: to young scientists who are either from Switzerland and who want to join an outstanding laboratory or clinic abroad, or from abroad and who wish to work in Switzerland. There are two types: a fellowship for up to 2 years in an outstanding basic research laboratory specialised in one or several aspects of CNS and spinal cord lesions and repair, preferentially in mammals; or, a 1 year fellowship in a clinical research laboratory situated in the fields of diagnosis and acute lesion management of spinal cord injury, including surgery, neurology, urology, rehabilitation, and other areas related to paraplegia. Funding: combined living, research, and travel allowance of 79,000 Swiss Francs per year, with additional expenses covered depending on a fellow's situation.
