The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development awarded the University of Pittsburgh a $931,479 Project Grant effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2031, under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865). The award supports the Advancing Clinical Translational Science for Rehabilitation (ACT4REHAB) Research Career Development Program, which addresses critical gaps in rehabilitation research by establishing a mentoring network to develop a national cohort of rehabilitation clinician scholars in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and rehabilitation medicine. The program delivers comprehensive research training and mentorship services designed to prepare clinician scientists to lead independent research programs that restore and maximize functional capabilities for individuals with disabilities. ACT4REHAB provides structured training to both scholars and mentors in novel intervention research frameworks, study design methodologies, stakeholder engagement practices, and implementation science evaluation tools. The program emphasizes "designing for implementation" throughout intervention development stages, with explicit focus on collaboration with persons with disabilities, families, healthcare providers, health systems, payors, and industry partners. Through widespread outreach to academic and clinical research programs, ACT4REHAB identifies and selects scholars with high-translational-potential scientific domains and equips them with advanced skills in rehabilitation translational science to accelerate the delivery of effective rehabilitation interventions in clinical settings and communities.Federal Grant Award Summary
