Network Sites

Each of the NERSCIC sites brings unique strengths to the NERSCIC Network.

Boston University Medical Campus (BUMC) in Boston, MA serves a socio-economically and racially diverse urban population and is the headquarters for the research, education, and other collaborative activities of NERSCIC.  Under the leadership of Dr. Alan Jette as Principal Investigator at the BU School of Public Health (BUSPH), NERSCIC provides continuing extensive research expertise and experience to all of NERSCIC’s activities in collaboration with the wider SCI community.  BUMC also now partners with Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital to offer the Knowledge in Motion Consumer Education Program Lectures and Webcasts.
