HHP Faculty Receive Continued Funding for Occupational Athlete Research

Faculty members in the Department of Health and Human Performance at UM were recently awarded funding from the U. S. Forest Service’s National Technology and Development Program to continue developing programs to assist the nation’s wildland firefighters with injury risk, and the physical, nutritional, and mental demands of their jobs. The grant, which to date totals 1.15 million dollars, includes faculty members and graduate students in the fields of exercise physiology, biomechanics, athletic training, performance psychology, and community health. Leading fire organization, FireRescue1, recently named the project's podcast “On The Line”, as one of the top ten podcasts for firefighters. The project also features an information portal called “The Black” to serve the nation’s wildland firefighter population.
