Description
The Nedra Gillette Endowed Research Fellowship, administered by the American Occupational Therapy Foundation (AOTF), provides support to postdoctoral researchers undertaking foundational research in occupational therapy science. The fellowship aims to advance the theoretical and empirical basis of occupational therapy by fostering innovative inquiry into human occupation and participation. A central goal is to promote diversity in the research workforce by encouraging applications from individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences. The fellowship supports early-career scholars in building independent research trajectories and contributing to the future of occupational therapy through high-impact, foundational studies.
