Education
Valay Shah, Ph.D.
Title: Neural Correlates of Mobility Impairments in Aging Adults. For his fellowship, Dr. Shah will use functional MRI to study brain activation patterns of walking. To do this, he will use a motor imagery protocol (imagined walking) that has demonstrated parallel neural substrates to physical task execution. He will compare…
Erika Pilner, Ph.D.
Title: Efficacy of Balance Training with Visual Occlusions. Walking requires integration of sensory information, computational processing, and motor output response (referred hereafter as the neuromechanical components). Deficits in any of these neuromechanical components with aging can increase fall risk. To combat aging effects on mobility and reduce fall risk, researchers…
Commitment to Respect
Translational Research in Aging and Mobility Postdoctoral Training Program The TRAM program is committed to a culture that is supportive and respectful to all. We believe that scientists from various backgrounds, including those with disabilities, will enhance scientific inquiry to holistically meet our challenge of preserving mobility over the lifespan.
Fellows in Translational Aging and Mobility (TRAM)
Current Fellows Meet our current researchers in the fellowship program of Translational Aging and Mobility (TRAM). Funding for this post-doctoral program comes from a grant for training, category 32 (T32), awarded to the University of Florida from the National Institutes of Health’s Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Awards. …
Faculty
Translational Research in Aging & Mobility Postdoctoral Training Program Leaders Diagram of TRAM Explanation of diagram: it shows the two main faculty categories of the Translational Research in Aging and Mobility (TRAM) program: aging research and mobility research. Each category has three areas which each have three sub-areas. For…
Eligibility and Application
*Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, starting June 1st. The University of Florida Translational Aging and Mobility (TRAM) T32 Training program is seeking PhD, MD, PhD/MD, or related areas to conduct research focused on addressing mobility impairments in late-life. TRAM fellows will join a team of scientists and…
Benefits
Translational Research in Aging & Mobility Postdoctoral Training Program The program couples training on both aging and mobility. TRAM capitalizes our tremendous success transitioning our junior scholars in our Older Americans Independence Center and CTSI KL2 programs into independent scientists and the new training resources recently added by the UF…
