This year there was a shift in focus with emerging and early-career researchers prioritised to promote the growth of the next generation of experts in the field.Ā
In response to the unique challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cerebral Palsy Alliance Research Foundation engaged in extensive consultations with the research community. The outcomes led to a decision to waive project grants in the 2023 round and instead, provide funding opportunities for emerging and early-career researchers in 2024, acknowledging the disruptions to research projects in recent years and their impact on early career development.Ā
Cerebral Palsy Alliance’s commitment to research breakthroughs is dedicated to collaboration with individuals living with cerebral palsy and their families. Research Foundation projects and grants are informed by frequent consultations with consumers who bring lived experience to the table.Ā
Our vision is to enable the worldās best cerebral palsy experts to find ways to prevent and treat cerebral palsy. As the worldās largest private funder of ground-breaking cerebral palsy research projects, we have committed almost $72 million and funded 409 researchers from 183 institutions across 48 countries since being established.Ā Ā
This year, by prioritising emerging talent, the grants aim to seed funding for a new wave of future cerebral palsy researchers and are a crucial investment in the future of cerebral palsy research.
Congratulations to the grant recipients!
