Two researchers in University of Waterloo's Faculty of Applied Health Sciences are among recipients of the province of Ontario's Early Researcher Awards.
The Early Researcher Awards program helps promising and recently appointed researchers make new discoveries while creating jobs for graduate and undergraduate students, post-doctoral fellows and research assistants. Each award consists of $150,000 over five years to support the development of a research team.
Applied Health Sciences recipients are:
Professor Steven Mock (Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies, School of Public Health and Health Systems), who is conducting research on the challenges our increasingly diverse family forms face when it comes to retirement planning in Ontario
Professor Marina Mourtzakis (Department of Kinesiology), whose research on nutrition and exercise therapies will help improve the health of breast cancer survivors and reduce the recurrence of the disease among this group
