The Physiotherapy Research Foundation (PRF) supports the physiotherapy profession by promoting, encouraging and supporting research advancing physiotherapy knowledge and practice.

High quality research contributes to the scientific evidence base that can inform physiotherapy practice. Research into the efficacy of physiotherapy has also played an increasingly major role when advocating and lobbying for physiotherapists to governments, industry and the general public.

The PRF offers grants to both experienced and inexperienced or new researchers engaging research in specific interest areas of physiotherapy, physiotherapy education and professional practice. All grants applications undergo a rigorous assessment process managed by the Grants Review Committee.
