Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training in Pediatric Mobility

Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training in Pediatric Mobility is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education (H133P080005). This Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) program takes advantage of the ongoing collaborations among Marquette University, the Medical College of Wisconsin, and Shriners Hospitals for Children, and the Milwaukee School of Engineering. These relationships have allowed us to design a unique training program that will provide advanced education and training in rehabilitation research to selected engineers and physician researchers with a background in rehabilitation medicine. The overall goal is to develop in-depth expertise, enthusiasm and productivity in rehabilitation research which will increase the number of physicians and engineers qualified to conduct independent, transdisciplinary research on problems related to disability, rehabilitation and pediatric mobility. The specific goal is to train individuals to become career researchers.
