Our researchers are looking for answers to these questions (and many others):




 

ICORD’s mission is to conduct research and training towards the development and translation of more effective strategies promoting prevention of spinal cord injury, functional recovery, and improved quality of life after SCI. Our vision is broad, and therefore, our strategy is not to focus solely on a narrow definition of ‘cure’ for SCI, but rather, to foster excellence across the entire research continuum that affects the lives of those with SCI. This includes preclinical discovery science, the development of therapies for acute and chronic SCI, and solutions for successful and fulfilled living with SCI.

ICORD’s research activities revolve around these four strategic goals:
1.     Prevention of SCI
2.     Acceleration of SCI cures/treatments
3.     Improving the quality of life for people with SCI
4.     Supporting activities of our partners
