You can choose to support ICORD’s general research programs, a summer research program for Indigenous youth, or our Physical Activity Research Centre.
Support ICORD Research Programs
Your donation will support ICORD researchers as they work to develop therapeutic strategies to promote functional repair after SCI, to validate and implement evidence-based clinical and rehabilitation practices, and to improve the quality of life and community reintegration for people with SCI.
Support ICORD’s Summer Research Program for Indigenous Youth
ICORD, in partnership with UBC’s School of Biomedical Engineering (SBME), is excited to offer a summer program to provide opportunities and mentorship for Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis) youth interested in scientific research.
We invite senior high school students to do research projects in ICORD and SBME labs, in the hope that experience in a research environment might inspire students to go on in the sciences, and maybe consider further studies or a career in neuroscience.
Grade 10-12 students join us for 6-week paid placements to do short-term projects tailored as much as possible to their specific interests. Students are primarily supervised by graduate students and/or research staff, who in turn get the opportunity to gain leadership and supervisory skills.
We’re crowdfunding to support student salaries, as well as lab and research supplies for this program.
Support the Yuel Family Physical Activity Research Centre (PARC)
PARC is ICORD’s fully accessible research gym with state-of-the-art exercise equipment. PARC researchers seek the best strategies for providing spinal cord-injured people with opportunities to participate in physical activity. Your donation will help sustain PARC and ensure PARC participants continue to have access to the latest specialized, wheelchair-accessible equipment.
Your support is also critical to creating research and training opportunities for UBC students and researchers who want to better understand the exercise needs of people with SCI.
