Key to building research capacity is the development of a qualified workforce.
This requires the establishment of academic training programs and the creation of
attractive research career opportunities. The adoption of the International
Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health as unifying conceptual model
for rehabilitation, the emergence of distinct scientific fields of human
functioning and rehabilitation research, and the change to Bachelor and Master
degrees in Europe provide opportunities to initiate academic training programs in
human functioning and rehabilitation research. Applied training includes
certificate programs in rehabilitation effectiveness and Masters and Doctoral
programs in rehabilitation with specializations, e.g. in rehabilitation studies,
management, education and rehabilitation counseling. Scientifically-oriented
training includes Masters of Science and PhD programs in human functioning
sciences and integrative rehabilitation sciences. There is also potential for
collaborative Masters and Doctoral programs with the rehabilitation professions,
movement sciences, psychology and the behavioral and social sciences. When
initiating the process to develop these programs, one may learn from and
co-operate with established programs in public health.
