Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA, F31 predoctoral fellowship) to study the effects of treadmill locomotor training on locomotion, urogenital function, and pain following spinal cord injury in rats. Jill\u2019s post-doctoral training at Emory University was supported by an NIH Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award (NRSA, F32 postdoctoral fellowship) focused on enhancing peripheral axon regeneration via neuronal activity in various forms, including running exercise, optogenetics, and electrical stimulation, and the role of hormones and sex differences on the effectiveness of these experimental treatments in transgenic mouse models. Jill is the recipient of an Early Career Research Award from the National Center for Medical Rehabilitative Research (NIH\/NICHD) and the R.R.
