Training diverse clinician scientists in rehabilitation research
Turning the TiDe: Training Diverse Clinician Scientists in Rehabilitation Research
The TiDe program is working to help healthcare researchers learn how to support and mentor students from different backgrounds, so that the field of rehabilitation research can better represent and meet the needs of everyone in our community.

What this research studies
The TiDe program aims to enhance the field of rehabilitation research by equipping current clinician scientists with the necessary skills to recruit and mentor trainees from underrepresented backgrounds in biomedical science. This initiative focuses on providing both theoretical education and practical research experiences through collaborations across various disciplines and institutions. By fostering a more diverse research workforce, the program seeks to address the gaps in representation and ensure that rehabilitation research reflects the diverse needs of society.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for participation or benefit from this research include individuals from underrepresented populations in biomedical science who are interested in pursuing careers in rehabilitation research.
Not a fit: Patients who do not belong to underrepresented groups in biomedical science may not directly benefit from this research initiative.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to a more diverse and effective rehabilitation research workforce, ultimately improving patient care and outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While the focus on training diverse clinician scientists is a growing area of interest, this specific approach is relatively novel and aims to address a critical gap in rehabilitation research.
