The goal of the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation is to provide grants to fund research in the hopes of finding a cure for paralysis. Applications for research grants are accepted from American investigators located at institutions that have established lines of accountability and fiscal responsibility. The intent of these grants is to promote new and exciting research in the field of paralysis. The amount of grant money distributed is pre-determined by the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation (BRPF) Board of Directors. The following areas of research are of primary interest to the Bryon Riesch Paralysis Foundation: |
||
| -Factors relating to re-myelination, axonal preservation or | ||
| growth, and cell differentiation that may lead to acute or | ||
| chronic recovery in spinal cord injured individuals. | ||
| -Drug therapies or other interventions that will limit secondary | ||
| damage after a spinal cord injury. | ||
| -Activities that investigate underlying problems associated with | ||
| neurological disorders such as spasticity, chronic pain, | ||
| bladder/bowel function, or sexual function. | ||
