THE LONGEVITY AFTER INJURY PROJECTThe Longevity After Injury Project is a 40-year program of research that has expanded upon the work initiated by Dr. Nancy M. Crewe at the University of Minnesota in 1973. Dr. Krause began working with Dr. Crewe in 1984, taking over leadership in 1988. The Longevity after Injury Project has shown continual growth with the contributions of dedicated staff, students, and faculty. More than 13,000 assessments have been conducted with over 5,000 unique participants with neurologic injuries.

CAPACITYBUILDINGFORMINORITY-SERVINGINSTITUTIONSCapacity building helps broaden research capacity required to successfully compete for funding and is facilitated through collaborations with historically black colleges and universities and other minority serving institutions. It includes research on socioeconomic and racial-ethnic disparities, with nationwide outreach through webcasts, workshops, on-site training, and in-services.
EDUCATIONWe provide graduate assistantships for doctoral students in health and rehabilitation sciences, summer programs for undergraduate, graduate, and medical students, and training of professionals through Grand Rounds and state of the science conferences.
SUMMERSTUDENTPROGRAMThe 10-week summer program provides training in rehabilitation research and requires completion of a written paper and oral presentation.
COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION Our Community Advisory Panel (CAP) is made up of a diverse group of individuals with spinal cord injuries and traumatic brain injuries. The goal of the CAP is to obtain the perspective of people who understand and represent the larger stakeholder viewpoint, and this is accomplished through quarterly meetings.
