InVivo Therapeutics is inviting papers in the fields of neurotrauma and spinal cord injury (SCI), and will announce the recipient of a $50,000 grant that will be given to a researcher developing novel biomaterial treatments for neurotrauma at the Summit. The award is intended to stimulate innovation and cutting-edge ideas in the fields of neuroprotection and regeneration utilizing biomaterials.

If you are a researcher in these fields, please submit your paper to InVivo Therapeutics by April 15, 2013. Your submission will be evaluated by Robert S. Langer, ScD and a panel of experts. The top author will be invited to present at the invitation-only event.
