The Department of Defense is offering the Spinal Cord Injury Qualitative Award to support qualitative research studies focusing on the experiences of individuals with SCI, particularly military and Veteran populations. The grant aims to identify effective paths for adjusting to disability and improving overall quality of life after SCI. Researchers are encouraged to collaborate with military and VA professionals to explore issues, barriers, and promoters of success during the transition from injury to community reintegration. Factors such as age, gender, ethnicity, and psychological health may impact the rehabilitation and reintegration of spinal cord injured Service members. Qualitative research seeks to understand the human experience and make sense of personal interpretations and observations.

| Description: | The intent of the Qualitative Research Award is to support qualitative research studies that will help researchers and clinicians better understand the experiences of individuals with SCI and thereby identify the most effective paths for adjusting to disability and/or improving overall quality of life, health, and functional status after SCI. This mechanism is specifically focused on military and Veteran populations in the years after SCI, examining the issues, barriers, and promoters of success for Service members during the transition from initial injury and acute care through rehabilitation and community reintegration; therefore, collaboration with military and VA researchers and clinicians is encouraged. Factors that may affect the rehabilitation and reintegration of spinal cord injured Service members include, but are not limited to, age, gender, ethnicity, family members/caregivers, psychological health, severity of injury, type of medical care (e.g., civilian, VA or military facility), and co-morbid conditions. Qualitative research is a form of social inquiry that focuses on understanding how people interpret and make sense of their experiences and the world in which they live (i.e., seeks to understand the human experience). Observations that drive a research idea may be derived from basic discovery, population-based studies, a clinician’s first-hand knowledge of patients, or anecdotal data. |
