New research suggests that there are now 100,000 people living in the UK with a spinal cord injury (SCI), many of whom will experience complications from their injury.  We provide grants to spinal cord injury researchers to improve quality of life of people living with SCI.  We hope that this research leads to new treatments and therapies, deepens our understanding and dissemination of best practice in areas such as:

• Bladder management (including treatment and prevention of Urinary Tract Infection)
• Bowel management
• Pressure Ulcers
• Respiratory care
• Neuropathic Pain
• Upper Limb function
• Psychological health

More information is in our 2024 leaflet

We fund research which improves the quality of life of people living with spinal cord injury
