Advanced Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Program - Employment - The Center for Education in Health Sciences, in close collaboration with Northwestern University's Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and the Shirley Ryan Abilitylab (formerly the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago) will, in the course of this five-year, ARRT project, provide training to seven post-doctoral fellows who will develop new skills to compete successfully for research career opportunities in disability-related employment research. The goals of this project are to (1) Provide high quality, formal didactic, and experiential training, knowledge, and skills in advanced, cutting-edge research methods and analytic approaches applied to the field of disability and employment, and (2) Develop a cadre of researchers from diverse scholarly and clinical backgrounds who are capable of designing and executing research studies to effectively address timely research questions yielding robust evidence for clinical stakeholders and policy makers to enhance the employment opportunities of persons with disabilities. The objectives are to (1) Recruit and train at least 7 highly qualified postdoctoral fellows in advanced rehabilitation research methods, (2) Provide high quality formal didactic and experiential training, and (3) Evaluate the effectiveness of the fellowship program. Anticipated outcomes are: (1) recruitment of high caliber candidates, (2) excellent mentorship, (3) completion of fellowship program requirements, and (4) successful placement in academic, research, and other relevant career opportunities by all trainees. The expected products of trainees are successful completion of formal coursework, conduct of a research projects, submission of at least one small research grant application, and submission of at least three first-authored manuscripts for peer review publication.
