The Model Spinal Cord Injury
System program, sponsored by the National Institute on
Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR), provides
assistance to establish innovative projects for the
delivery, demonstration, and evaluation of comprehensive
medical, vocational, and other rehabilitation services
to meet the needs of individuals with spinal cord
injury.
Model System Centers across
the United States work together to demonstrate improved
care, maintain a national database, participate in
independent and collaborative research and provide
continuing education relating to spinal cord injury.
