I am a student/professor/scientist conducting SCI Research. Will you help me recruit participants?
Due to the frequency of requests, we only promote research projects in which we are a direct partner, or if Spinal Cord Injury BC will directly benefit from the research in some way. However, we routinely direct our members to ICORD’s Participate in a Study webpage. In addition, qualified researchers can post recruitment notices on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
