CORRT is a collective effort of seven universities: three lead institutions (Washington University School of Medicine, the University of Pittsburgh, and the University of Delaware) and four partnering institutions (Emory University, The Johns Hopkins University, University of Miami, and the University of Iowa). Collectively these institutions have a rich history of developing basic and applied rehabilitation scientists.
The focus of study at these institutions explores contemporary topics important to fostering diverse rehabilitation interests including: tissue pathophysiology and secondary complications; regenerative medicine; behavioral and social adaptation; movement science; cognitive processes; environment; occupational science; and activity and participation across a number of neurological and musculoskeletal diseases.
Selected scholars will spend the first two years at one of the seven participating institutions. The last three years of the scholar training will be based at their home institution.
