State Will Fund Brain Injury Research
Indiana plans to fund research to help those who have suffered from spinal cord and brain injuries. The state will begin funding spinal cord and brain injury research projects that will lead to cures and improvements for those who have suffered such injuries. State Representative Carolene Mays has worked to get the program into motion.
“Earlier this year, I was approached by a group of concerned citizens who wanted to make a difference for those individuals who have suffered a traumatic spinal cord or brain injury,” Mays said. “They want research to be performed here in Indiana to help some 160,000 residents who have received such injuries. As an added benefit, these projects create new research jobs right here in Indiana.” Mays added that the funding for the new research will come primarily from an increase in the motorcycle registration fee.
