* The Foundation has awarded more than $
14 million to launch and fund the research careers of more than 500 physical therapists around the country in scientific, clinical, and health services research.
* The Marquette Challenge is an annual grassroots fundraising effort coordinated and carried out by physical therapy and physical therapy assistant students across the country. to support new investigators in the field of physical therapy research. At the University of Florida, we believe innovations and new research by the Foundation for Physical Therapy will help propel our profession in a unified and solidified direction for the future. With Physical Therapy changing, innovating and adapting to various healthcare initiatives, we recognize the importance of furthering and maintaining our foothold in the healthcare community, not only for our patients but also for ourselves.
