    Paralyzed Veterans of America Education Foundation Invites Proposals for Innovative Educational Projects

    Paralyzed Veterans of America advocates for better health care and benefits, aids in the search for a truly satisfying career, and provides the path to adventure through adaptive sports for paralyzed American veterans. Through its charitable arm, the Paralyzed Veterans of America Education Foundation, the organization supports educational projects that benefit, serve, and enhance quality of life for individuals with spinal cord injury/disease, their families, and their caregivers.

    The foundation has five categories for funding consideration: consumer, caregiver, and community education; professional development and education; research utilization and dissemination; assistive technology; and conferences and symposia. Projects should be designed to improve the quality of life for individuals with SCI/D, educate consumers about the consequences of and complications associated with SCI/D, improve the knowledge and skills of SCI/D healthcare professionals, and/or prevent the occurrence and complications of new SCI/D.

    The foundation supports one-year projects up to a maximum of $50,000; conferences and symposia are supported at $15,000 maximum.

    Eligible applicants should be members of academic institutions, healthcare providers and organizations, or consumer advocates and organizations. Grantee institutions must be located in the United States or Canada. Project directors and fellows are not required to be citizens of the U.S. or Canada. All applications must be submitted in the name of the project director by the fiscally responsible organizational entity.

    For complete program guidelines, application instructions, and a list of grant recipients from previous years, visit the PVA Education Foundation website.
