The Foundation is hosting its first-ever “Communicating Science” Training Workshop at CSM 2015 on Wednesday, February 4. The Section on Research is a cosponsor of this special workshop. Members of the Foundation Alumni Network (FAN) and Section on Research will participate in a 4-hour workshop designed to teach the fundamentals of presenting research and describing its importance and impact to audiences outside of traditional scientific forums. The Foundation is working with Ninja Communications, the organization contracted by the National Science Foundation to train their funded scientists, to run the workshop. This event is currently closed to new participants.
At CSM 2105, the Foundation will be revealing the recipient of the Center of Excellence in Physical Therapy Health Services and Health Policy Research and Training funding award. Visit the Foundation's booth to learn more about the Center of Excellence recipient and proposed activities.
