Supplementary Research Scholarships for Studies of Spinal Cord Injury

Research is being conducted in the Spinal Injuries Research Centre at the Prince of Wales Medical Research Institute (supported by the NSW Spinal Cord Injury and Related Neurological Conditions Research Grants Program) into changes in nerves and muscles below the level of a spinal cord injury. The aim is to identify the mechanisms underlying atrophy and modified excitability so that improved rehabilitation programs can be developed.

 

Applications will be considered at any time. Please contact Elspeth McLachlan for further information (9399 1031). Click here to download the scholarship application form.
