This position will help us to attract and keep top rehabilitation research talent to ensure Sara's legacy continues indefinitely.
Visiting students and scholars
The fund will support the creation of new educational and scholarship opportunities for undergraduate students, graduate students, and new clinical investigators within the Pathokinesiology Laboratory. These opportunities will allow the next generation of researchers and clinicians to receive critical specialized training focused on addressing the needs of those living with physical impairments due to neurological disorders. diin the Individuals receiving financial support through this fund will be designated as a “Sara Mulroy Scholar” .
Dissemination of research and scholarship efforts
No research is beneficial unless it is openly shared with those that need the information. The fund will provide financial support for dissemination of research and scholarship efforts. Examples of costs that could be covered by the funds include conference attendance by staff, covering journal article publication fees to ensure open access to all, and supporting digital dissemination platforms.
