WATCH

Meet some of the CoHSTAR researchers and hear about the impact of CoHSTAR in their own words.

Linda Resnik, PT, PhD, FAPTA

In 2019, the Foundation Board of Trustees elected to extend funding of the 5-year CoHSTAR grant with an additional 2-year investment. Hear Principal Investigator Linda Resnik explain how this additional investment will allow for additional growth in health services research.

Daniel Young, PT, DPT, PhD

Prior to starting his CoHSTAR Fellowship, Daniel Young spent 9 years as a faculty member. Though he had some success in developing partnerships with hospitals to conduct small-scale health services research, CoHSTAR helped fast-track his work.

Carmen Capó-Lugo, PT, PhD

Capó-Lugo notes, "In the year that I have been a fellow, I submitted 3 articles for publication and participated in applying for grants. But the biggest reason that CoHSTAR is such a great opportunity is that it links people that are doing similar work.”

120 RESEARCH ABSTRACTS

Since 2015, CoHSTAR has yielded 96 peer-reviewed publications and 120 research abstracts presented.

15 FELLOWS

CoHSTAR's postdoctoral and faculty fellowships bridge the gap between PhD completion and successful indendent investigators.

150+ DONORS

Thank you.

This work would not have been possible without the support of individuals and organizations with a shared passion for the profession.
