Research that could enhance the lives of people with spinal cord injury (SCI) is often not applied in practice. To close this gap, funders, researchers, and research users have emphasized the importance of using research partnerships between researchers and research users. To help SCI researchers and research users engage more meaningfully in research that is relevant, useful, and/or useable, a multidisciplinary group of SCI researchers, clinicians, people with SCI, represent...atives from SCI community organizations, and funding agencies developed integrated knowledge translation (IKT) guiding principles. The principles are published in Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. The eight principles represent the first rigorously co-developed, consensus-based guidance to support meaningful SCI partnerships. The principles should be used early and throughout the entire research process. By applying the principles, you have the potential to combat tokenism and improve the relevance and impact of SCI research.
