About Us

• To remove the effects of spinal cord injury through the development of safe, accessible cures and treatments.
• To accelerate the delivery of those cures.
• To improve outcomes for everyone through global collaboration and knowledge sharing.

ADVANCE
Drive research to develop skills, knowledge and understanding.

We:

• Fund research that shows how mobility, function, and sensation can be restored.
• Fund foundational science when it directly informs recovery.
• Improve spinal cord injury classification and treatment recommendations.
• Make clear, evidence-based decisions.
• Communicate openly and transparently.

ACCELERATE
Remove barriers to speed up research.

We:

• Support work from early discovery through to human trials
• Remove delays with faster decisions, shared resources, global collaboration and flexible funding.

ACHIEVE
Turn evidence into safe, accessible recovery and measurable outcomes.

Removing the effects of spinal cord injury means:

• Restored mobility
• Restored function
• Restored sensation

We:

• Track outcomes, focussing on meaningful, repeatable improvement
• Expect readiness to move toward people – not just ‘proof in models’.
• Make disciplined decisions to continue, refine, or stop lines of research.

CatWalk funds a focused research portfolio designed to improve outcomes and communicate learning clearly.

We:

• Concentrate resources on what works.
• Capture and communicate learning, positive and negative.
• Redirect funding quickly to drive continued progress.

Together, we will deliver a world free from the effects of spinal cord injury.

CatWalk:

• Fosters and supports collaboration, sharing, and communication at all levels.
• Nurtures strong teams to build on collective progress.
• Works to strengthens the global spinal cord injury research community.
