FALL 2017 CONNECTIONS
The Purpose of NORSCIS is to generate new knowledge that can be used to improve outcomes of individuals with traumatic spinal cord injury. We conduct research and program improvement initiatives that will improve the ability of persons with traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) to engage fully in their communities. The NORSCIS research agenda fits into the health and function outcome domain.
