Dissertation Research Grant Program
...................................................................................................................
The Dissertation Research Grant Program of the Institute for the Study of
Occupation and Health represents one of AOTF's many investments in building
the careers of scientists in the field of occupational therapy. Based in part
upon the structure of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) research grant
application, this program is unique to the field of occupational therapy as
it specifically seeks to promote the development of qualified occupational
therapy researchers who are enrolled in programs that value strong mentorship
and whose careers are dedicated to advancing science in occupational therapy.
These grants are available to occupational therapists whose dissertation research
directly contributes to one of the profession's Research Priorities and Parameters
of Practice for Occupational Therapy which can be found on AOTF's web site at:
http://www.aotf.org/html/priorities.shtml
Through this program AOTF awards grants of up to $5,000, with $25,000 total awarded annually.
Beginning in academic year 2007-2008, the Dissertation Research Grant Program will have two
deadlines each year, August 1 and February 1.
The application consists of five parts, all of which are downloadable here in Microsoft Word format:
If you have questions about any aspect of this program, please call the Office of the Director
of the Institute for the Study of Occupation and Health at 30l 652-6611, ext 2556 or email to
