The Gillian Reny Stepping Strong Center for Trauma Innovation (SSCTI) announces the 2018 Stepping Strong Innovator Awards to inspire innovative research focusing on well-defined clinical problems in areas related to trauma injury and its associated recovery, bone regeneration and wound healing, limb reconstruction and regeneration, infection management and eradication, and any other facets of trauma care that impact both civilian and military patients.

These awards will fund high-reward projects by the best, most creative and collaborative physicians, bioengineers and bench top researchers in the Boston area. Multidisciplinary projects with collaborators at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital will receive enhanced consideration in this application process.

Stepping Strong expects to provide several grants of up to $100,000 each in 2018.
