SRS Standard Research Grant

Scoliosis Research Society

The expectation for a standard research grant is that the successfully completed project would be of a quality of a well-received podium presentation at the SRS Annual Meeting. The Society expects that these grants will lay the foundation for a sustained avenue of investigation and allow the investigator(s) to seek larger grants from sources such as the NIH or OREF. Investigators who have been funded at this level should not plan on nor expect that the “next step” in a project will be funded by the SRS after completion of their initial work.

Preliminary data is not required but may be viewed favorably.
Investigators and consortia that have an ongoing study in this category will not be considered for additional funding until their funded project is complete, regardless of whether or not their new application is for a different avenue of investigation.
The quality and timeliness of the investigators’ previously funded SRS research and reports will be taken in consideration when evaluating applications for standard research grants.
Duration of research – up to 2 years
Up to $37,500 per year may be requested (max $75,000 total). Applications requesting more than $25,000 per year should spend additional effort to justify the request.

General Guidelines

Up to 2-3 grants will be awarded each cycle
Applicants do not need to be members of the SRS but do need to have at least one SRS member as a co-investigator.
Funds are for work to be performed, not works in progress or already completed.
All correspondence will be sent to the primary investigator. It is the responsibility of the primary investigator to provide information to co-investigators.
The SRS Research Grant program was not developed to support research for independent manufacturer, industry development or personal business financial gain. SRS will be sensitive to this issue and avoid funding these projects.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

While the SRS does not publish a formal scoring rubric with numeric success predictors, its review criteria and application guidance clearly indicate what influences funding competitiveness:

📌 Scientific Merit

Projects are evaluated on significance to spinal deformity care, innovation, and clarity of purpose.

The Approach — including clarity of aims, rationale, and methodology — is key.

📌 Feasibility & Design

Reviewers consider whether the project has a logical study design, achievable goals, and a feasible timeline within the budget.

Methodological rigor and appropriate statistical planning improve competitiveness.

📌 Investigator Potential & Role

For New Investigator awards, demonstrated independence and leadership in the project is important.

Strong mentorship and a clear principal role for the applicant help signal future research productivity.

📌 Preliminary Data (Context-Dependent)

Preliminary data is not required for many SRS awards (e.g., exploratory and new investigator grants), but for some categories (e.g., standard or directed grants), having strong preliminary evidence can strengthen the proposal.

📌 Alignment With Topic Priorities

Some cycles define specific thematic areas (e.g., outcomes measurement tools or long-term follow-up studies). Tailoring the proposal to these topical priorities increases the chance that reviewers see it as high-impact.

📌 Collaborative and Multi-Center Potential

For major grants like Directed Research, projects that are multi-center or multi-continent are often favored, suggesting breadth and impact potential are part of selection considerations.

📝 Additional Resources and Support

SRS provides Grant Writing Resources — including webinars, handbooks, podcasts, and sample materials — to help applicants improve proposal quality and grant competitiveness.

📌 Summary

The Scoliosis Research Society (SRS) offers competitive research funding in multiple categories for spinal deformity research.

While there’s no published numeric “success predictor score,” key factors associated with funding success include:

Clear scientific significance and innovative research design

Feasible methods and realistic timelines

Investigator potential and appropriate role in the project

Alignment with SRS priorities and objectives

Strong preliminary data (where applicable)

Multi-center, impactful research proposals tend to be prioritized in larger grant categories.
