Research Impact Training Webinar hosted by Cerebral Palsy Alliance and Research Impact Academy
To support applicants to consider impact in their projects The Research Foundation of Cerebral Palsy Alliance and Research Impact Academy hosted a Research Impact Training Webinar on 15 October 2021.
The Research Foundation of Cerebral Palsy Alliance has a strong on-going commitment to funding high quality research in cerebral palsy. Our research priorities were informed by extensive consultation with the CP Community including consumers (individuals and families), clinicians and researchers.
We will accept applications from individuals, groups of researchers, committees or project-focused Foundations. Chief Investigators must be employed through an Institution e.g. Hospital, University, Institute.
Please ensure your project addresses the Research Foundation’s priorities, as identified by key stakeholders, to expand cerebral palsy research:
- Causation
- Prevention
- Treatment
- Cure
- Advocacy
Our research grants
The Research Foundation of Cerebral Palsy Alliance Project Grants are available for all researchers who want to work to accelerate progress in the field of cerebral palsy research. Applicants should be researchers who wish to build their reputation in the field of cerebral palsy, deepening their knowledge and experience. Applicants are also strongly encouraged to nominate junior researchers as chief investigators in their applications to foster upcoming researchers in the field of cerebral palsy research.
The aim of our Project Grant funding scheme is to support scientific excellence and innovative research into cerebral palsy.
The Research Foundation of Cerebral Palsy Alliance Emerging Researchers Grants are developed to support emerging researchers who are seeking to establish careers in cerebral palsy research.
Overarching requirements for emerging researchers are demonstrated research capability and a desire to establish a career in the field of cerebral palsy research. Applicants should detail the extent to which this grant will support them as an independent researcher and how it will enable a step change in their career.
The Research Foundation of Cerebral Palsy Alliance PhD grants are available on a competitive basis to attract new and highly qualified graduates into the field of cerebral palsy research. We are working to achieve our strategy: to accelerate progress towards improving treatments and investigating ways of preventing and curing cerebral palsy, by encouraging researchers to adopt cerebral palsy as their area of study.
The PhD Grants are available for PhD research students who are committed to accelerate progress in the field of cerebral palsy research. Individuals completing non-research PhD study (e.g. a clinical doctorate) are not eligible to apply.
Starting 2019 we are no longer accepting applications for the Career Development Grant, this scheme has been replaced with two funding opportunities: the Emerging Research Grant and the PhD (Research) Grant.
Previous Career Development grant recipients may refer to the following report templates for their ongoing research projects:
