Encompass Midcareer Investigator Research Grant

About this program

The Foundation for Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, with support from Encompass Health, offers one $25,000 Mid-Career Investigator Research Grant to provide seed funding for innovative physical medicine and rehabilitation research, particularly projects advancing cost-effective, results-oriented care. Eligible applicants are physiatrists or PM&R faculty who are 5–20 years beyond completion of a terminal degree and subsequent training and can demonstrate successful research experience. Applications must include a research plan, anticipated outcomes, budget, institutional support letter, and CV for a 1–2-year project, and must be submitted online by the stated deadline; the announcement lists both May 1 and November 1, so applicants should confirm the current deadline with the Foundation.
