Kara Radzak (Kinesiology & Nutrition Sciences) has received a $964,806 grant from the Department of Defense’s Military Health System Research Program to lead a two-year project aimed at enhancing telehealth-based care for musculoskeletal injuries in military personnel.
In collaboration with partners from the Uniformed Services University, A.T. Still University, and UNLV colleagues Andrew Reyes (Nursing) and Lung-Chang Chien (Public Health), the project will develop and pilot test clinician decision support tools (CDSTs) to support remote injury evaluations and telerehabilitation.
The initiative seeks to improve early access to care, especially when in-person services are unavailable or underutilized, ultimately supporting military readiness and the well-being of Service members. The project also expands Radzak’s ongoing collaboration with the UNLV ROTC program, offering additional resources for cadet health and training.
