Academy of Research
...................................................................................................................
The American Occupational Therapy Foundation established the Academy of Research in Occupational Therapy in 1983. Its purpose is to recognize those individuals who have made exemplary and distinguished contributions toward the science of occupational therapy. By 1988, ten charter members had been inducted into the academy, and from that time, the membership of the Academy of Research has nominated and selected the individuals who join this distinguished body of researchers.
