Award Recipients


The inaugural winners of the OMOD/CIHR Biomedical and Rehabilitation Research Award were:

Lora Marie Giangregorio
Ottawa Health Research Institute
Areas of study:

  • Body weight supported treadmill training after hip fracture;
  • Systematic review of exercise interventions after SCI;
  • Quality of life and patient utilities after hip fracture.

Nancy Salbach
University of Toronto
Area of study:

  • Factors influencing information access by physiotherapists providing care for persons with stroke.


Each researcher received $38,000 per year for a period of 3 years, plus a $3,500 research allowance per annum.

In 2005 we were pleased to reaffirm our commitment to the support of Nancy Salbach’s research in the area of physical therapy at the University of Toronto.

We are also pleased to congratulate Lora Marie Giangregorio on accepting an Assistant Professorship with the University of Waterloo. Unfortunately, this made her ineligible to receive fellowship funding for the remaining period of support.
