We are working to reduce the 17-year research translation timeframe
Many spinal cord injury research studies are conducted each year, however due to low trial participant numbers, outcomes are inconclusive and do not change health policy or clinical practice. By providing the platforms and programs to build multi-centre collaboration and research capacity, we aim to increase the scale of clinical trials to achieve conclusive and translatable research outcomes that can be used to improve the lives of people with spinal cord injury.
Read about the collaborative research that the SRI has supported.
A mapping study sponsored and compiled by the SRI
The SRI sponsored and compiled this mapping study in order to gain a clear understanding of the current landscape of spinal cord injury research within Australia. Having this understanding can inform and support efforts to minimise duplication of research, reduce financial waste, and help make strategic decisions around investment, thereby maximising the use of the limited resources available.
In this short video, hear from Associate Professor Doug Brown, Professor David Berlowitz and Jack Ross, Senior Clinician Physiotherapist Victorian Spinal Cord Service about the importance of spinal cord research and the impact it has on people living with spinal cord injury.
If you have a spinal cord injury there may be clinical trials that you can participate in.
