THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT THE AMERICAN PHYSICAL THERAPY ASSOCIATION COMBINED SECTIONS MEETING IN HOUSTON

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth! We appreciate you taking time to learn more about our work. We had a fantastic time discussing our funding opportunities with so many of you. We were honored to recognize our latest research grant, scholarship, and service awardees, and honor 10 years of the Center on Health Services Training and Research (CoHSTAR) during our annual donor reception. It was inspiring to hear about the important work our researchers and students are doing. We cannot wait for next year—see you at American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting (APTA CSM) in 2026!

Check out the doctoral scholarship recipients, research grant recipients, and service awards to see the individuals we honored at APTA CSM.

Additionally, we appreciate all the faculty and researchers from programs across the country who supported our student led fundraiser! The Marquette Challenge provides a fantastic opportunity for physical therapist and physical therapist assistant programs across the country to actively engage in fundraising efforts that directly benefit the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research (the Foundation). The annual CSM Marquette Challenge event serves as a celebration and recognition of all the participating difference-makers and their contributions to advancing physical therapy research. It is also a great chance for schools who have not yet joined the Challenge to connect with and learn from those who have, gaining valuable insights and inspiration to get involved in this impactful initiative.
