Science & Advocacy Symposium

February 2026 | Crystal City, Virginia

Raising Our Voice

Join us as we celebrate 20 years of U2FP's Annual Symposium, by returning to the Washington DC area where it all started! As usual, we'll be gathering the major stakeholder groups - Scientists, Clinicians, Industry, Funders and the Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Community - to share the latest in SCI functional recovery research and collaborate on the best strategies.

Then we'll all hit the Capitol as we launch our Cure Advocacy Network's pivot to a national legislative campaign. We plan to take the knowledge we've gained in passing over $40M in SCI Research grant funding at the state level, and expand our movement to the federal level! We're returning to our roots while moving forward boldly to unite and empower the international spinal cord injury community!
