The SOP research grants provide funding to assist physical therapist investigators and to encourage research that will add to the body of knowledge related to improvement of pediatric physical therapy.

Periodically, Planning Grants up to $30,000 are available to support the development of multi-site clinical research related to the topic of a Section Research Summit.
