Show Notes

Physical therapy research may feel invisible — but it protects reimbursement, strengthens professional credibility, and ensures long-term growth.

In this episode, Jimmy talks with Becky Craik about:

  • The mission of the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research
  • How a $10,000 seed grant can turn into millions in federal funding
  • Why funding interruptions damage entire research teams
  • The importance of cost-effectiveness research
  • The Marquette Challenge and engaging the next generation
  • Why “Don’t make enemies” might be the best professional advice you’ll hear

If you believe in evidence-based practice, this episode explains why ongoing research funding matters to every PT — whether you work in a clinic or academia.
