The NNJSCIS SCI Consumer Advisory Board consists of disabled and non-disabled members of the SCI community (both consumers and professionals), as well as key staff from the NNJSCIS and NNJSCIS-affiliated institutions. The overall mission of the Board is to assist the NNJSCIS in maintaining a focus on issues important to persons with SCI and their families and to help guide our research projects, clinical services, educational programming, advocacy efforts, and dissemination of work. The Board meets on a quarterly basis.
