Foundation for Physical Therapy Research invites applications for acute care research

Objectives: The Foundation for Physical Therapy Research invites proposals for its 2025 Acute Care Physical Therapy Research Grant. The grant aims to support research directly related to acute care physical therapy practice, focusing on advancing evidence-based practices within the acute care setting. With funding of $80,000 over one or two years, the grant encourages studies that contribute to the existing body of knowledge in acute care physical therapy, especially those that address clinical effectiveness, measurable outcomes, health disparities, and interactions between patient characteristics and therapeutic methods. Priority is given to proposals that align with the 2023 APTA Research Agenda, aiming for immediate clinical application and preparing ground for larger-scale submissions to other funding agencies.
