| The University of Michigan Model Spinal
Cord Injury Care System is currently conducting several
research studies to learn more about improving the health
and well-being of people with spinal cord injury. We
encourage people with SCI to consider being involved in
these studies. By doing so, participants can play a more
active role in their own health care and help others by
contributing to medical research. Please read more about the
studies below, and call to register or to obtain more
