Education Outreach
OUTREACH TO T H E C O M M U N I T Y
The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis believes in working with our local community to develop and implement strategies that can improve quality of life through education. The Education department, directed by Katie Gant, Ph.D., together with her outreach team, Danielle Cilien and Maria Chagoyen, field thousands of calls and emails each year and serve as liaisons between the general public and the scientific community. The department provides information about research programs, clinical studies, resources for living with paralysis, rehabilitation resources, clinical care referrals, and advice on worldwide investigational treatments and research. They also offer educational tours, lectures and additional outreach events to promote scientific awareness. The graph below illustrates the total number of people the department interacted with each month during 2019 outreach activities.
