While pursuing his Ph.D. he collaborated with New Start for Student Veterans, a supported education program for student Veterans, to investigate factors influencing a range of clinical outcomes, including resilience, community reintegration, and academic performance. He joined the Rocky Mountain MIRECC as a Polytrauma/TBI Postdoctoral Fellow in 2019.
- Dr. Kinney's primary research interests include investigating factors that influence the successful implementation of evidence-based treatment for Veterans with a history of mild traumatic brain injury.
