NSCISC
The UAB Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is federally funded to operate the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center (NSCISC).
NSCISC supports and directs the collection, management and analysis of the world's largest spinal cord injury database. Organizationally,
NSCISC is currently at the hub of a network of 14 federally-sponsored and 3 subcontract-funded regional Model Spinal Cord Injury Systems
located at major medical centers throughout the United States. In addition to maintaining the national SCI database, NSCISC personnel conduct
ongoing, database-oriented research. Many of the findings resulting from these investigative efforts have had significant impact on the delivery
and nature of medical rehabilitation services provided to SCI patients.
