Description
The American Hand Therapy Foundation (AHTF) administers this grant with support from the Doris Ann Slack Upper Extremity Education and Research Innovation Fund. It supports basic science and evidence-based studies in hand and upper limb rehabilitation, including experimental studies, pilot studies, and systematic reviews or meta-analyses. Projects must address diagnostic categories identified by AHTF research priorities or the specific donor’s research priorities.
The award provides seed money to help skilled researchers and research teams develop their roles as principal investigators and pursue larger external funding. Preference is given to applicants with principal-investigator experience or prior scholarly funding who need additional studies to compete for further support. The program connects research leadership development with strengthening the scientific evidence supporting rehabilitation.
