With the grant, the university and Frazier Rehab will operate the Frazier Rehab and Neuroscience Spinal Cord Injury Model System, which aims to achieve three objectives:
• Provide an integrated, multidisciplinary system of rehabilitation care specifically for individuals with spinal cord injury.
• Conduct an active research program that moves evidence-based approaches to treating spinal cord injury to the clinical setting.
• Enroll at least 30 patients per year — 150 total from the four-state area served by the five-year grant — in the national Spinal Cord Injury Model System database.
The grant is one of 14 awarded in the United States.
