RESEARCH OUTLOOK

The CSRO strives to find a cure for paralysis and improve the quality of life for people with spinal cord injuries (SCI) by funding SCI research. With the help of our members and corporate partners, we have been able to fund a variety of pioneering research projects. The following is a chart of the research projects supported by the CSRO over the past 20 years.

On the sidebar for this page, you will find updates on some of our most exciting research projects. The CSRO is committed to funding these and other research projects that show promise in improving the quality of life for the estimated 40,000 Canadians with spinal cord injuries.
