AI Contract Overview
The fiscal year 2026 Spinal Cord Injury Research Program Clinical Translation Research Award, solicitation number HT942526SCIRPCTRA, is a Department of Defense initiative managed by the Defense Health Agency. The program aims to accelerate the translation of emerging techniques and interventions into clinical use by supporting high-impact research that addresses barriers to clinical success or informs the design of definitive trials. Priority areas include acute injury intervention, secondary health effects, and psychosocial well-being. The award supports a maximum performance period of three years, with a total cost cap of 2.0 million dollars for single principal investigators and 2.16 million dollars for those utilizing the Early-Career Partnership Option. Applications follow a two-step process, requiring a pre-application by August 3, 2026, and a full application by November 12, 2026. A critical requirement is the inclusion of at least two spinal cord injury community partners to provide consultation throughout the project. The Early-Career Partnership Option allows for two principal investigators, provided at least one is an early-career investigator with three to seven years of post-terminal degree research experience. Selection is based on a two-tier review process consisting of a peer review for technical merit and a programmatic review to ensure alignment with military health needs and program priorities. Applicants must maintain active registrations in SAM.gov, eBRAP.org, and Grants.gov to be eligible for award.
