The VCU Advanced Neurotrauma Rehabilitation Research Training (ARRT) Center is a federally-funded research training program for health and function in people with disabilities. The Center for Rehabilitation Science and Engineering (CERSE) in VCU’s Department of PM&R leads VCU ARRT activities, and is uniquely positioned with a 25-year record of achievement preparing post-doctoral fellows for successful research careers.

About the position

The VCU ARRT is funded by the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR). The VCU ARRT provides a rich research training experience, including the opportunity to: (1) grow an independent line of research with a publication record of achievement; and (2) develop expertise in intervention development, participatory action research, clinical trial design, and grant writing. The VCU ARRT provides an evidence-informed, independent development plan (IDP)-driven, multiple-mentor training environment for fellows to build the skills and record of achievement needed to obtain a research faculty position. Two ARRT fellows will train concurrently, and have access to a cohort of postdoctoral research fellows and early career faculty across VCU and CVHCS. The VCU ARRT provides a supportive research mentoring environment including people with lived experience of disability, didactic and hands-on research training, a broad local and national mentorship network, large national research and health claims data registries for secondary data analyses, finance, regulatory and pre-award grant support, biostatistical training and resources, and leadership and communication skill-building.
