The Christopher Reeve
Paralysis Foundation (CRPF) is committed to funding research
that develops treatment and cures for paralysis caused by
spinal cord injury and other central nervous system disorders.
The Foundation also vigorously works to improve the quality
of life for people living with disabilities through its
grants program, paralysis resource center and advocacy efforts.
Since its inception,
CRPF has awarded more than $53 million in research grants
to the world's best neuroscientists. CRPF grants are catalytic.
The Foundation supports new initiatives, takes smart risks,
and makes sure their research dollars are spent wisely.
And the research they're funding also has the potential
to contribute to cures for
other devastating diseases, such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's,
MS, diabetes, ALS and stroke.
In addition, through
their Quality of Life and Health Promotion grants and the
new Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center,
CRPF supports a wide variety of initiatives that make life
easier, more productive, and more enjoyable for children
and adults with spinal cord injuries and other diseases
and conditions which result in paralysis.
