The Center has 8,000 square feet of research space, including clinical and wet labs at MRVAMC. Its research is organized into three initiatives and two cores: Rehabilitation Neuroscience Initiative, Cognitive and Emotion Function Initiative, Motor Function Initiative, Neuroimaging and Biomarkers Core and Human Motor Performance Core.

In addition, a joint appointment at the University of Florida (UF; the academic affiliate to MRVAMC), may be negotiated based on the needs of UF and the credentials of the applicant. The specific UF College, Department, and academic rank for a joint appointment would occur in consultation with UF, according to the applicants training, academic discipline, existing funding, scholarly achievements, and the associated departments resources and needs.
