The University of Washington Model Systems Knowledge Translation Center (UW MSKTC) was funded by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) from 2006-2011. This website contains an archive of the products and processes developed during that time. 

The objectives of the UW MSKTC were:

• To enhance understanding of the quality and relevance of the SCI, TBI, and Burn Injury Model Systems Programs’ research findings via a systematic review of evidence in SCI, TBI, and Burn injuries.
• To enhance knowledge of advances in SCI, TBI, and Burn injury research among consumers, clinicians, and other end-users.
• To create a knowledge management system to centralize resources developed by the SCI, TBI, and Burn Injury Model Systems for effective and uniform dissemination and technical assistance.

Primary activities of UW MSKTC included:

• Development of evidence-based and consumer-ready consumer information
• Conducting systematic reviews of evidence.
• Research and training.
