The Foundation for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation is dedicated to advancing health, maximizing function, and improving the quality of life for individuals through research and education in the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation.
The Mid-Career Investigator Research Grants program aims to offer financial support in the form of a $25,000 grant to established investigators. This grant is intended to serve as seed money for new research projects that chart new directions or perspectives in the investigator's work. The focus is on research relevant to the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, with a preference for projects that align with the Foundation's stated Research Priorities. The grant emphasizes the importance of innovation in advancing the understanding and practice of physical medicine and rehabilitation. Recipients of the grant will be recognized at the AAP Annual Meeting, and their work may be featured in the Foundation's UPDATE Newsletter among other publications and materials.
