In July 1998, landmark legislation was enacted to create the New York State Spinal Cord Injury Research Board and allocate funding to the Spinal Cord Injury Research Trust Fund.

Since its inception, the Board has recommended more than $54 million in research awards to some of New York State's finest research teams.
