CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
BE A PARTNER IN RESEARCH
OUR RESEARCHERS ARE LEADERS IN THE PROFESSION. OUR PARTNERS MAKE THEIR WORK POSSIBLE.
Foundation for Physical Therapy Research (FPTR) Partners in Research make the physical therapy profession stronger by supporting our mission to fund research. Our partners are seen as leaders and reach our broad audience of prominent educators, business owners, and practitioners. Moreover, Partners have the opportunity to reach future physical therapists from over 150 schools who engage in FPTR’s annual student-led Marquette Challenge.
Our scholarships, grants, and fellowships fund more than $1 million in research each year. Our awards also help researchers when applying for additional funding. For every $1 awarded, our researchers receive $47 in follow-on funding. These are the seeds that will grow for years to follow.
