Recipients in the news.Wendy Hurd, PT, PhD, recipient of a Mary McMillan doctoral scholarship in 2002, a Promotion of Doctoral Studies (PODS) I scholarship in 2004, and a PODS II scholarship in 2006, recently completed her doctorate at the University of Delaware [3] The student body at the University of Delaware is largely an undergraduate population. Delaware students have a great deal of access to work and internship opportunities. . She is now a postdoctoral research fellow in the Motion Analysis Laboratory, Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic. Her dissertation was tided "Quadriceps Strength and the ACL See access control list. 1. ACL - Access Control List. 2. ACL - Association for Computational Linguistics. 3. ACL - A Coroutine Language.

Chmielewski received a PODS II award in 2001, and Snyder-Mackler received doctoral research grants in 1988 and 1991. Donovan J Lott, PT, PhD, CSCS CSCS Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist CSCS Center for the Study of Complex Systems (University of Michigan) CSCS Construction Skills Certification Scheme (UK) CSCS Center for Surface Combat Systems , recipient of a PODS I scholarship in 2004 and PODS II scholarships in 2005 and 2006, completed his doctorate in May 2007 at Washington University in St Louis. He is now a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Florida University of Florida is the third-largest university in the United States, with 50,912 students (as of Fall 2006) and has the eighth-largest budget (nearly $1.9 billion per year). UF is home to 16 colleges and more than 150 research centers and institutes. . His dissertation was tided "Effects of Stress Application on the Soft Tissues of the Neuropathic Foot." Lott has published, with coauthors, 3 articles based on research done while supported by Foundation scholarships. * With Michael J Mueller, PT, PhD, FAPTA, Mary K Hastings, PT, DPT, ATC, Thomas E Pilgram, PhD, Paul K Commean, BEE, and Kirk E Smith, "Efficacy and Mechanism of Orthotic Devices to Unload Metatarsal metatarsal /meta·tar·sal/ (met?ah-tahr´sal) 1. pertaining to the metatarsus. 2. a bone of the metatarsus. met·a·tar·sal adj.

Mueller served on the Foundation's Scientific Review Committee (SRC (SouRCe) Contrast with DST, which is an abbreviation of "destination." ) from 1998 to 2000. He received Foundation doctoral research grants in 1987 and 1991. Sinacore also served as a member of the SRC, from 1999 through 2004; in 2003 and 2004, he served as the chair. He received a Foundation doctoral research grant in 1989. Maluf is a Magistro Family Research Grant recipient. |
