MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The Reeve Foundation is dedicated to curing spinal cord injury by funding innovative research and improving the quality of life for people living with paralysis through grants, information, and advocacy.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

We believe in empowering those affected by paralysis with the best knowledge, resources and support. We believe in the power of "we" not "me." We believe you should not be alone. We believe in cures that improve and enhance "lives well-lived." We believe that every story is unique, and we invite you to share yours. We believe that people with paralysis have a right to a life with dignity. We believe in a diversity of research done collaboratively and responsibly without impediment.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

The Paralysis Resource Center (PRC) is the support side of the Reeve Foundation’s twin missions to provide “Today’s Care” and to strive for “Tomorrow’s Cure”. We are a free, comprehensive, national source of informational support for people living with paralysis and their caregivers. Our primary goals are to foster involvement in the community, promote health and improve quality of life. Our Information Specialists are trained to help anyone—from newly-paralyzed individuals and their family members to persons who have lived with disabilities for quite some time—as they attempt to navigate their changing world and the services available to them. We pull from a wide array of information and expertise to devise personalized plans and approaches to getting individuals living with paralysis back into their communities and a place of well-being quickly. The breadth and depth of our knowledge and connections span multiple languages, as well as everything from what to expect in rehab, to the best equipment exchange programs, to peer support networks. The Reeve Foundation’s NeuroRecovery Network (NRN) is a cooperative network of rehabilitation centers. Each member center is charged with developing and—more importantly—providing therapies that promote functional recovery and improve the health and overall quality of life for people living with paralysis. https://www.christopherreeve.org/nrn Reeve Foundation's North American Clinical Trials Network (NACTN) - The mission of the North American Clinical Trials Network® (NACTN) is to bring promising therapies out of the laboratory and into clinical trials in a manner that provides strong evidence of effectiveness and safety. NACTN supports a network of 10 clinical centers as well as clinical coordinating, data management and pharmacology sites, all dedicated to establishing best practices in the care and treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). By uniting experts across the country, NACTN conducts clinical trials that maximizes patient safety while gathering valid, meaningful data to speed the delivery of new therapies to the community. In addition to translating discoveries from the lab into clinical studies, NACTN maintains a patient registry of information that is important to the design and testing of possible new treatments for SCI. https://www.christopherreeve.org/research/nactn/about-nactn International Research Consortium on Spinal Cord Injury - The Reeve Foundation created the International Research Consortium on Spinal Cord Injury to forge a collaborative alliance among top neuroscience labs in the U.S. and abroad. The seven Consortium labs are run by scientists who, individually, have helped shape the field and made important contributions that form the basis for many potential treatments. As a group, the principal investigators of the Consortium comprise a formidable team, combining their broad expertise and sharing their tools. The Consortium is also helping to launch the next generation of spinal cord scientists who will carry forward the Reeve Foundation mission. https://www.christopherreeve.org/research
