“As an international student, I feel like we have a lot of limited options to get national grants, so I'm really grateful to AACPDM. It was a great stepping stone for me, because I could use it for funding my dissertation.” ▶️

In this podcast episode, Radhiki Attal, the 2025 AACPDM Mentored Research Grant recipient, and her mentor on that grant, Dr. Stacey Dusing, discuss the path of research, mentorship styles, and Attal’s dissertation.

Attal is a pediatric physical therapist pursuing a PhD in biokinesiology and infant motor control at the Motor Development Lab at the University of Southern California. Her dissertation title is “The Impact of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia on Learning and Kicking Motor Control in Preterm Infants.”
