Interdisciplinary Training in Pathobiology and Rehabilitation Medicine
NIH National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research
1T32HD071866
Purpose
The overarching goal of the training program is to develop burgeoning scientists into future leaders in translational rehabilitation research—scientists who are equipped to test and disseminate novel rehabilitative strategies that will alleviate impairment and compromised life quality in the face of chronic disease management. Exercise Medicine is a major focus of this training program.
The program supports three predoctoral and four postdoctoral trainees each year.
