We are continuing to mobilize our community to fight back against the cuts to the Defense Department's Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) which led to the zeroing out of the $40 million for the Spinal Cord Injury Research Program (SCIRP).

Still time? We must urge lawmakers to reinstate the full CDMRP funding. This can happen through a legislative
"vehicle", such as an amendment or bill.

Here we go again, and hopefully for the last time. The Wisconsin Legislative Session has officially begun and after six long years of trying to get a spinal cord injury research grant bill enacted, we are sitting as pretty as we ever have.
