Congratulations to Dr. Darren Warburton (PI) and co-applicants, Dr. Shannon Bredin, Dr. Moss Norman, Dr. Eli Puterman and Dr. Robert Boushel (KIN) for being awarded $100,200 from UBC’s Teaching and Learning Enhancement Fund (TLEF). Dr. Warburton received funding to create, implement, and evaluate an innovative blended learning program in “Indigenous Studies in Kinesiology.” This program will introduce students to principles of Indigenous understandings of health and well-being and will provide comprehensive insight into the complex social, cultural, historical, and economic factors that shape healthy living within Aboriginal communities.
Congratulations to Dr. John Kramer who received $140,000 from the International Foundation for Research in Paraplegia (over 2 years).
