A Look at the NATA Foundation Goals |
^ |
|
|
|
In this
issue
and the
next six
issues,
we will
be
focusing
on the
Goals
and
Strategies
of the
NATA
Research
&
Education
Foundation.
Each of
these
six
Goals is
equally
important
to
fulfilling
the
mission
of this
organization.
This
issue
lists
the six
Goals
but the
numbering
order is
just
used to
facilitate
organization
of
information
and does
not
reflect
relative
importance.
In
subsequent
issues,
we will
highlight
each
goal,
one goal
per
issue.
GOALS
AND
STRATEGIES
-
Advance
the
knowledge
base
of
the
athletic
training
profession.
-
Encourage
research
among
athletic
trainers
who
can
contribute
to
the
athletic
training
knowledge
base.
-
Provide
forums
for
the
exchange
of
ideas
pertaining
to
the
athletic
training
knowledge
base.
-
Facilitate
the
presentation
of
programs
and
the
production
of
materials
providing
learning
opportunities
about
athletic
training
topics.
-
Provide
scholarships
for
undergraduate
and
graduate
students
of
athletic
training.
-
Plan
and
implement
an
on-going
total
development
program
that
establishes
endowment
funds,
as
well
as
restricted
and
unrestricted
funds,
that
will
support
the
research
and
educational
goals
of
the
Foundation.
|
|
|
|
|
We will
be
offering
over 70
awards
this
year to
entry-level,
masters
and
doctoral
athletic
training
students.
Notifications
to
recipients
will be
made by
April
15th and
presentations
at the
Pinky
Newell
Athletic
Training
Student
Awards
luncheon
on
Wednesday,
June 27
in
Anaheim.
New
awards
this year
are made
possible
by
sponsorships
for
two
scholarships
from the
Great Lakes
Athletic
Trainers
Association
(District
4) and
one from
Castle
Worldwide. |

NATA Foundation Congratulates Journal of Athletic Training |
^ |
|
|
|
The Foundation congratulates the Journal of Athletic Training for its acceptance by the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE (previously titled Index Medicus), the world's most prestigious medical database. This recognition will serve to increase the exposure of the high quality research conducted in athletic training, which can benefit others within the health-care community who are involved with advancing patient care. We thank all who had a part in this, particularly Journal Editor-in-Chief Christopher Ingersoll, PhD, ATC and his predecessors, but also all of the authors whose works made this possible. |
