New Investigator Research Grant

 

Pre-Proposal Deadline: May 15, 2020 11:59 PM PT

One annual award, maximum of $10,000.

The purpose of the New Investigator Research Grant is to support clinical research projects of AASPT members who are early in their professional careers. Research proposals that investigate issues within the broad discipline of sports physical therapy, including clinical practice, injury prevention and rehabilitation, epidemiology, and education are welcomed.

A new investigator is defined as 5 years or less from clinical residency or research doctoral/post-doctoral training at the time of application. Individuals who have obtained federal research funding or who have previously received Legacy funding are not eligible. The principal investigator must be an AASPT member at the time of grant submission.

New in 2020, AASPT is requiring a pre-proposal from all investigator teams interested in submitting an application for the Legacy Fund New Investigator Grant.
