PACES Application Process
How selection works
PACES is competitive. We select scholars based on:
- Alignment with precision rehabilitation and the goals of PACES
- Career stage fit, readiness, and ability to benefit from a cohort-based mentorship model
- Clarity of goals and the potential for PACES to accelerate the applicant's development
- The applicant's contribution to a balanced, multidisciplinary cohort, with intentional representation across rehabilitation domains, populations, and research settings
Program commitment
- Apply online (in the form below): Applicants complete a brief online application form and upload a biosketch or CV. The form includes short prompts to describe:
- Who you are and your precision rehabilitation interests.
- What you hope to gain/achieve through PACES.
- At least one work-in-progress you would like to refine during the program. The work-in-progress can be at any stage, including very early concept.
- Applicants also affirm their ability to participate in monthly PACES seminars and to attend quarterly Precise Center public webinars (or view recordings if unable to attend live).
- Administrative review: We confirm eligibility, application completeness, and ability to meet the 12-month participation expectations (including pre-seminar prep and brief reflections).
- Faculty review: Each application is reviewed by two independent reviewers using a standardized rubric.
- Cohort balancing & final selection: Program leadership confirms the final cohort to ensure a strong multidisciplinary mix and equitable representation across rehab domains, populations, and research settings.
- Notification & onboarding: Selected scholars receive onboarding materials, seminar dates, program expectations (including prep/reflection), and instructions for accessing ad hoc consultations.
