Aiken, SC (05/17/2018) — Several University of South Carolina Aiken faculty have been awarded funding from the Advanced Support for Innovative Research Excellence - or ASPIRE - program.

Dr. Anne Ellison, working with Dr. Alexandra Roach, Dr. Laura Swain, Dr. Michelle Vieyra, Dr. Andrew Hatchette, and Dr. Brian Parr, received an ASPIRE III (Infrastructure) grant for their work: Wireless Physiological Sensors to Explore the Pathophysiology and the Effects of Innovative Treatments for Traumatic Stress, Head Injuries and Emotional Dysregulation in Military Veterans, Student Athletes and Adults with ADHD: Out of the Laboratory and into the Field.
