Our Areas of Focus

Promoting
Neurorecovery

Catalyzing and translating research into promising neurorestorative SCI therapies.

Improving Person-Centered SCI Care

Collaborating with the SCI community and partners to update and implement person-centered standards, guidelines, and policy changes, fostering alignment and collaboration within the SCI field.

SCI
Networks

Our networks foster a collaborative environment that supports co-designing, endorsing, and implementing solutions. Networks tackle complex problems to improve care for individuals with SCI and drive collective impact.

Capturing Data and Experiences of People with SCI

We are working to gather data that reflects the current SCI population and the economic realities of living with SCI. We are also working to embed data standards and advance SCI analytics.

Praxis-led National Canadian SCI Registry (RHSCIR)

Our national database collects detailed information about the SCI population and their care experiences. By analyzing this data, we identify gaps, inform best practices, and work toward consistent, high-quality care across Canada.
