The Foundation for Physical Therapy seeks to fund research that supports the development of evidence-based physical therapy practice, enhances the quality of physical therapy services for patients and clients, and increases the number of physical therapy researchers.
As part of this mission, the foundation is accepting applications for the following funding opportunities:
The Florence P. Kendall Doctoral Scholarship, part of the foundation's Doctoral Opportunities for Clinicians and Scholars program, assists physical therapists and physical therapist assistants with outstanding potential within their first year of post-professional doctoral degree studies. Applicants must be U.S. residents. The program provides one-year awards of $5,000 to meet any type of tuition expense or academic fees associated with a doctoral program.
The Foundation for Physical Therapy Research Grants provide up to $40,000 over one or two years to emerging investigators working on scientifically based and clinically relevant research related to the effectiveness of physical therapy practice. Research must take place at U.S. institutions. Up to two grants may be awarded for research projects to evaluate the effectiveness of physical therapy interventions, within any discipline relevant to physical therapy.
The Magistro Family Foundation Grants are one- to two-year grants of up to $40,000 for research at U.S. institutions. Up to two grants may be awarded for research in evaluating the effectiveness of interventions most commonly delivered by physical therapists as determined by current practice patterns, or for research in developing innovative physical therapist interventions and evaluating their effectiveness. Preference will be given to studies that examine not only the therapeutic effectiveness of interventions, but also their cost effectiveness.
