Additional Information
Comments Grants of up to $40,000 will be awarded in support of research projects within any discipline relevant to physical therapy aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of physical therapist interventions. Studies should seek to evaluate the clinical effectiveness of therapeutic interventions; assess the interaction between patient characteristics and therapeutic methods; explore the scientific basis for interventions used in physical therapy; and/or address an item identified in the APTA Research Agenda. Priority will be given to studies that have direct application to the practice of physical therapy; that address the need for measurable outcomes; that ask a new question important to intervention or its validation; and/ or that address a previously asked question with a new methodology, different sampling strategy, or different form of analysis. FPT supports only those intervention studies in which the interventions are provided by physical therapists, or selected components of the interventions are provided by physical therapist assistants, under the direction and supervision of physical therapists.
