Collaborate: Would you value the opportunity to engage with specific researchers and educators who are leading next generation in health and rehabilitation sciences? Each year there are many great research projects to improve health and quality of life that go unfunded, or opportunities to support learning for the next generation of health professionals. The Collaborate section of this website lists projects and a person that you can contact if you would like to provide financial support and meet with the researchers/educators involved. This enables you to see how your contribution can support real achievements in health. As new projects arise, this section of the website will continue to be updated.
