Alison Cogan | Rehabilitation and Functional Recovery Studies in Health Services (ReFReSH) Lab

The mission of the Rehabilitation and Functional Recovery Studies in Health Services (ReFReSH) Lab is to improve rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life for adults with acquired brain injuries. Our work aims to improve the quality of rehabilitation services by identifying what combinations of services work best for whom to enable optimal functional performance and community participation. We address the rehabilitation needs of military service members and Veterans with brain injury as well as the civilian population using a range of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Research in our lab focuses on:

• Understanding recovery trajectories and how the amount and type of therapy is associated with improvement
• Developing data visualization approaches that support effective clinical decision making
• Advancing outcome measurement and aligning outcome measures with treatment goals

Financial support

Individuals may apply for competitive division scholarship awards. These scholarships will cover up to 18 units of tuition.
