 Implementation

​

The Consortium activities are guided by the Active Implementation Frameworks developed by the National Implementation Research Network (https://nirn.fpg.unc.edu/) and adapted by the SCI Knowledge Mobilization Network (SCI KMN). For more information about these Implementation Science-based frameworks see the Guide that also outlines the experiences of the SCI KMN in implementing best practice in SCI rehabilitation.
