MARRTC Researcher Highlighted In Newsletter
Columbia, Mo. (Aug. 7, 2001) - Karen Multon, Ph.D., a researcher and principal investigator with the Missouri Arthritis Rehabilitation Research and Training Center (MARRTC), was featured in a recent newsletter highlighting grant funding.
Multon is an associate professor in Educational and Counseling Psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She heads up a research project at the MARRTC investigating vocational issues for people with arthritis and related musculoskeletal diseases.
The MARRTC is a federally funded organization, supported by the U.S. Department of Education’s National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR). It is headquartered at the University of Missouri in Columbia.
Multon’s MARRTC project was featured in the March 2001 newsletter of the College of Education Office of Research and Development at MU. The bimonthly newsletter is designed to inform College of Education faculty and staff about grant activity at the college.
During the last year, the College of Education was awarded more than $15 million in state and federal grants for more than 230 projects.
Multon’s project was selected to be featured in the newsletter, in part, because it is a large, collaborative effort involving several entitites on campus, said Susanne Carter, grant writer for the College of Education, Office of Research and Development. The project involves collaboration with several MU colleges including medicine, agriculture, health-related sciences, journalism and education.
Each issue of the newsletter typically highlights the grant efforts of two of the College’s 85 faculty members. The March issue also included grant writing tips and a list of the grant efforts awarded as well as under way at the Collge of Education.
