AI Contract Overview
The contract supports the Spinal Cord Injury Model Systems (SCIMS) program, which aims to deliver research-based knowledge to enhance multidisciplinary rehabilitation care for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), defined as a clinically observable neurologic impairment of the spinal cord. SCIMS Centers are required to engage in both site-specific and collaborative research efforts and are responsible for collecting and contributing data to a longitudinal database focused on SCI. Funding for these centers will vary according to the number of eligible database participants, with those having larger participant pools receiving higher awards as determined by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). The program funding spans a 60-month project period, divided into five annual budget periods, allowing for sustained research and development in SCI rehabilitation. The contract is managed by the Administration for Community Living under the Department of Health and Human Services. Applicants selected for funding will contribute toward advancing the understanding and rehabilitation of SCI through the data collection and research activities mandated by the SCIMS program. Contact information for further inquiries is provided for a designated representative within the agency.

Full Description
The SCIMS program is designed to provide research-based knowledge to support a multidisciplinary system of rehabilitation care for people with spinal cord injury (SCI). For purposes of this program, SCI is defined as a clinically discernible degree of neurologic impairment of the spinal cord. SCIMS Centers must conduct site-specific and collaborative research. SCIMS Centers must also collect and contribute data to the SCIMS longitudinal database. SCIMS Centers will be funded at varying amounts up to the maximum award based on the numbers of database participants eligible for follow-up in the SCIMS longitudinal database. Existing centers with significantly larger numbers of database participants will receive higher funding within the specified range, as determined by NIDILRR after the applicants are selected for funding. The grant will have a 60-month project period, with five 12-month budget periods.
