End-of-the-year gifts help strengthen the future of physical therapy research. (Foundation for physical therapy: scholarships, fellowships, and grants).

As another year ends, the Foundation looks back on its achievement of providing funding for critically needed scientific projects that are being conducted by hundreds of physical therapists across the country. The Foundation is proud to have awarded 32 scholarships, fellowships, and grants totaling $380,000 in 2001.

Funding a Clinical Research Network (CRN) will further advance physical therapy research as the Network investigates more critical questions by conducting collaborative research among many organizations, including academic institutions, universities, hospitals, and clinics.

In order to continually provide funding for the CRN, as well as the Foundation's other important funding programs, the Foundation looks to the physical therapy community for support.

The end of the year is an ideal opportunity for physical therapists to participate in the Foundation's mission by making a gift to the Foundation. Your tax-deductible contribution (Tax ID 13-6161225) will enable the Foundation to maintain a maximum level of funding throughout 2002. With your support, the Foundation will continue to provide funding for critical research programs.
