Work and Disability Research Group
Welcome to the Work and Disability Research Group in the Department of Kinesiology and Community Health.
The Work and Disability Research Group conducts research that focuses on how disability and chronic health
conditions impact and interact with career development, vocational behavior, and employment. A specific area of emphasis
is how cancer impacts the career development, employment and vocational behavior of individuals. To facilitate research in
this area collaborative relationships have been established with some of the leading cancer centers in the United States.
