The transformational gift will provide support for faculty and\/or PhD student research and scholarly activity in perpetuity. Funds may be used for visiting scholars, think tanks, and expenses related to conducting and disseminating research, among other activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The division’s PhD program, established in 2006, is one of the world’s top contributors to occupational science knowledge through the research of\u00a0faculty,\u00a0PhD students, and alumni.\u00a0The PhD program creates and nurtures a community of scholars who tackle complex issues at both theoretical and practical levels while educating practitioners with a sophisticated understanding of human occupation. In addition to the PhD program, the division has a\u00a0master’s program in occupational therapy\u00a0which is ranked #9 according to U.S. News & World Report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The future impact and potential opportunity this gift provides will ensure that the division continues to support cutting-edge research and mission-driven results on an institutional and national level. UNC Medicine and the division are grateful for this gift.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
