CAHP Collaborative Research Support Program Awards
Posted on May 31, 2022 by CAHP
Dr. Phoibe Renema and Dr. Padma Thulasiraman have been selected to receive the Covey College of Allied Health
Professions Collaborative Research Support (CORS) Program award for the 2022-2023
program year. The CORS program provides seed funding to advance the research and scholarship
goals of the college and its faculty. The objective of this program is to foster mentored
or independent collaborative, inter-disciplinary/interprofessional, discipline-specific
or pedagogical research across all units in the college. The program is administered
through the Research and Scholarly Task Force through a competitive review process,
with final approval by the CAHP Dean. Awardees are expected to publish and/or seek
external funding opportunities based on the results of their internal grant, as appropriate
for their discipline. A total of $10,000 in research funding was allocated to this
program for the 2022-2023 program. Both Dr. Thulasiraman and Dr. Renema will each
receive $5,000 to support their recent projects. Congratulations to both!
