Are you a researcher outside of Canada who’d like to collaborate with the researchers at ICORD? Applications for the VISIT program for international trainees and the ICORD Distinguished Visiting Scholar are being accepted until October 23, 2018

Funding for these opportunities is provided by the Rick Hansen Foundation as part of the Blusson Integrated Cures Partnership with ICORD. One goal of this partnership is to promote the creation of an international network of SCI researchers for pursuing research, clinical trials, and participation of people with SCI in clinical trials.
