Research
By uniting the brightest minds in the field, we’re developing and delivering real world treatments that will move us closer to cures for spinal cord injury.
Our approach to research is to pursue every opportunity to enhance the health and quality of life of individuals living with paralysis, by translating scientific breakthroughs into vital new therapies.
We’re changing lives — and you can help.
The Big Idea is a groundbreaking campaign to fast track the next phase of epidural stimulation research and rapidly change quality of life for those living with spinal cord injury. Every movement has its moment. This is ours.
