Laboratory for Sport Psychology & Performance Excellence faculty Dr. Barbara Meyer, along with Human Performance & Sport Physiology Laboratory faculty Dr. Kyle Ebersole, were recently awarded the Lubar Entrepreneurship Center’s Curriculum Innovation Grant. The Curriculum Innovation Grant program supports ideas for new and existing courses requiring co-instruction, with the goal of generating new curriculum to embed in existing courses, or the creating of brand-new courses.  As part of the grant award, they completed a semester-long course through UWM, attended an innovation and design conference (VentureWell), and enrolled in a final course through Stanford University that spanned July – October 2021.

Dr. Meyer and Dr. Ebersole’s grant is titled A Team Science Approach for Leveraging the Health Performance Continuum to Optimize Individual and Organizational Productivity. Through the Curriculum Innovation Grant, Dr. Meyer and Dr. Ebersole are currently designing and delivering two new courses, including OCCTHPY 522 -Health, Performance, & Injury Monitoring in Organizations and OCCTHPY 592 – Innovative Solutions in Human Factors & Performance. The creation of these courses is intended to serve as the foundation for a new track within the Occupational Sciences & Technology degree program at both the bachelor’s and master’s degree level.
