The Spinal Cord Injury Model System (SCIMS) Program<\/b> supports innovative projects and research in the delivery, demonstration, and evaluation of medical, rehabilitation, vocational and other services to meet the needs of individuals with SCI. It is sponsored by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR).<\/p>\n
The New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center Network was one of the original Model Centers, awarded this designation in 1973.\u00a0 During the 2011-2016 grant Cycle, NERSCIC is one of 14 Model System Centers across the United States working together to demonstrate improved care and outcomes, maintain a national database, participate in independent and collaborative research, and provide continuing education related to spinal cord injury.\u00a0 Read more about SCI Model Systems Resources <\/b>at the bottom of this page.<\/p>\n Southern California Spinal Cord Injury Model System<\/strong> Rocky Mountain Regional Spinal Injury System<\/strong> South Florida Regional Spinal Cord Injury Model System<\/strong> Southeastern Regional Spinal Cord Injury Model System<\/strong> Midwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury Care System (MRSCIS) <\/strong> Frazier Rehab and Neuroscience New England Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center<\/strong> Spaulding-Harvard Spinal Cord Injury Model System<\/strong> University of Michigan Model Spinal Cord Injury Care System<\/strong> Northern New Jersey Spinal Cord Injury System<\/strong> Regional Spinal Cord Injury Center of the Delaware Valley<\/strong> University of Pittsburgh Model Center on Spinal Cord Injury<\/strong> Northwest Regional Spinal Cord Injury System<\/strong> National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center<\/b><\/a> <\/b>(NSCISC) Model System Knowledge Translation Center<\/a><\/b> (MSKTC) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Spinal Cord Injury Model System (SCIMS) Program supports innovative projects and research in the delivery, demonstration, and evaluation of medical, rehabilitation, vocational and other services to meet the needs of individuals with SCI.
