Kringle receives Community Partnership Seed Grant

Emily Kringle, PhD, OTR/L, assistant professor of physical activity and health promotion and Director of the Disability and WELLness (DWELL) Laboratory received a Community Partnership Seed Grant from the University of Minnesota’s Clinical and Translational Science Institute. This grant enables the DWELL Laboratory team to partner with Alec Wendelboe and Katrina Meyer of the Minnesota Stroke Association to generate a shared community-driven research agenda to advance the science and practice of community-based stroke support. The funding from this grant will be used to hold focus groups in three Greater Minnesota communities and the Twin Cities to identify local community-based supports that are valued by members of the local stroke community, map valued supports to existing evidence, and to identify community-driven research priorities related to bolstering long-term community-based supports for stroke
