Facilities of Research in Spinal Cord Injury

Funding Contact(s): Laurie Leonard
Funding Categories: Repair and Plasticity

Brief Description:
Under this BAA, these facilities will provide, in the same location, resources, capabilities and expertise in SCI research. These will include the ability to work with multiple standard models of injury in rats and/or mice, and the facilities and personnel for expert handling, care and the medical management of animals with SCI. They will have dedicated facilities and expertise for conducting surgery, including microsurgery such as transplants and grafts, and for cellular analyses ranging from neuroanatomy and histology to electrophysiology and other cutting-edge technologies. These facilities will also provide training for individuals from graduate students to faculty, both within and outside of the organization, to promote consistency of procedures and practices across laboratories.
