The Conference
Three Days of Scholar Presentations, Consultations and Networking
While the size of this event is slightly reduced this year, we have made every effort to remain faithful to the very successful format we have used over the past few years. As always, we will devote the majority of the time to the review of the presentations by our current scholars. We have built in blocks of time throughout the workshop that can be used by the scholars for one-on-one consultations or general networking.

About CORRT
CORRT is a collective effort of eight universities: three lead institutions (Washington University School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, and University of Delaware) and five partnering institutions (Boston University, University of Colorado-Denver, Colorado State University, Emory University, 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 eight participating institutions. The last three years of the scholar training will be based at their home institution.
CORRT is funded by the National Institute of Health, National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research (K12 HD055931)
