The PhD program in Physical Rehabilitation Science offers interdisciplinary research training focused on neuromotor control and rehabilitation. The University Of Maryland School Of Medicine is a rich environment for education and training in research. Formal collaborations exist with the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center (OAIC), the Veteran’s Administration Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center (GRECC), the Veteran’s Administration Maryland Exercise & Robotics Center of Excellence (MERCE), the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center, and with other departments and units throughout the medical school campus. Johns Hopkins University and the National Institutes of Health also serve as locations for research collaboration and patient population resources. Faculty research is funded through the NIH, NIDRR, VARR&D, foundations and industry.
