Objective: The purpose of the International Spinal Cord Injury Biobank (ISCIB) is to facilitate investigation of the cause, development, diagnosis and treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI). Biospecimens and their associated de-identified information are made available to researchers who are conducting research that has undergone ethical review and is aimed to improve the overall understanding of SCI and the spine. All ISCIB requests must be approved by the ISCIB Operational & Scientific Access Committee before a Material Transfer Agreement is executed.
