The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR) awards Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems Center grants to institutions that are national leaders in medical research and patient care and provide the highest level of comprehensive specialty services, from the point of injury through rehabilitation and re-entry into full community life. Each SCI Model Systems Center contributes to the National SCI Statistical Center Database, participates in independent and collaborative research, and provides information and resources to individuals with SCI, their family and care givers, health care professionals and the general public. The current SCI Model Systems are funded from 2016 to 2021.
