Kessler Foundation wins DoD grant to study employment of veterans with spinal cord injury

(Kessler Foundation) While employment barriers that hinder employment for veterans with spinal cord injury are well documented, research has yet to explore the strategies used by this cohort to succeed in the workplace. The study will extend the findings of the 2015 Kessler Foundation National Employment and Disability Survey to veterans with SCI. Researchers will compare how veterans with SCI treated in the Spinal Cord Injury Model System vs the Veterans Health Administration strive to work and overcome employment barriers.
