The SCIRP Clinical Trial Award Rehabilitation (CTA-R) mechanism was first offered in FY09. Since then, 30 Clinical Trial Award Rehabilitation applications have been received, and 7 have been recommended for funding. The CTA-R supports rapid implementation of Phase 0, I, or II clinical trials with the potential to have a significant impact on the understanding of spinal cord injury and amelioration of its consequences. All studies must be focused on rehabilitative aspects of SCI, and be applicable to the health care needs of military Service members, veterans, and/or their caregivers and family members. Funding from this award mechanism must support a clinical trial and cannot be used for preclinical research studies. A clinical trial is defined as a prospective accrual of human subjects where an intervention (e.g., device, drug, biologic, surgical procedure, rehabilitative modality, behavioral intervention, or other) is tested on a human subject for a measurable outcome with respect to exploratory information, safety, effectiveness, and/or efficacy.
