Pediatric Clinical Residency or Fellowship Program Grants Policy The Section on Pediatrics will award $3,000 per year to assist potential pediatric residency and fellowship programs with the APTA credentialing process. This money will be made available on a “first come, first served” basis in the form of 3 grants in the amount of $1500 each, for reimbursement of the credentialing application fee. Up to three grants will be awarded per year. Applicants will be eligible for only one grant regardless of the number of applicants each year. The committee will consider grant applications on a “first-come, first-served” basis in two rounds throughout the calendar year. For the first round, the grant application deadline is March 1. For the second round, the grant application deadline is September 1. Application Process The pediatric residency or fellowship program will submit the grant application to the Section on Pediatrics Executive Office within 45 days of submitting credentialing applications to the APTA. The grant application deadline is March 1 for the first round, and September 1 for the second round, of each year. Upon receipt of the program’s credentialing status by the credentialing committee of the APTA, the Education Department will notify the Section on Pediatrics Executive Office. The Section on Pediatrics Residency Grant Subcommittee will notify the pediatric residency or fellowship program that the grant has been awarded by either electronic mail or standard mail sometime after September 1. The Section will then send a reimbursement check for the program’s application fee directly to the applicant contact person. If the Section on Pediatrics Executive Office does NOT receive APTA’s letter acknowledging the residency or fellowship program’s credentialing status within 30 days beyond the announced target date, the residency or fellowship program will forfeit the grant.

Section on Pediatrics American Physical Therapy Association EARLY INTERVENTION PLANNING GRANT APPLICATION Deadline: September 1, 2008 PURPOSE The purpose of the Section on Pediatrics Early Intervention Planning Grant is to support the development of multi-site clinical research in early intervention for children from birth to 3 years of age, and to foster the development of collaborative research proposals that examine factors contributing to successful outcomes and effectiveness of early interventions. The planning grant encourages a team that is comprised of researchers from geographically diverse locations that has evidence of good mechanisms in place for communication, project design development (including measurement tools, protocols, and data management and safety systems), and other resources necessary for planning a project that will be competitive for federal funding. The planning grant will not support data collection for preliminary or pilot studies. The expected outcome of the Section on Pediatrics Early Intervention Planning Grant is the establishment of a cohesive research team with a solid research plan and a finished or nearly completed grant proposal that will be submitted to a federal agency for support within 6-12 months of the grant completion of the Planning Grant year. APPLICATION DEADLINE Applications must be submitted via e-mail to the Section on Pediatrics (pediatrics@apta.org) by September 1, 2008, at 5:00 pm Eastern Time. PLANNING ACTIVITIES SUPPORTED Activities supported by the Section on Pediatrics Early Intervention Planning Grant may include, but are not limited to: • Development of a research plan (mandatory) • Establishment of collaborative agreements • Identification of data-collection methods and instruments • Development of multi-site quality-assurance procedures, including monitoring to ensure participant protection and data integrity (mandatory) • Sample size estimates • Development of training procedures, such as for those providing intervention and collecting data • Development of administrative procedures AMOUNT OF SUPPORT AND USE OF FUNDS A maximum of $30,000 will be awarded for a maximum of 18 months. All costs must be adequately justified. Funds may be used for: • Salary/time of the principal investigator (must be a member of the Section on Pediatrics) • Salary/time of co-investigators • Statistical consultants 2 • Other consultants • Travel expenses for planning meeting(s) (including air fare, ground transportation, hotel, and per diem according to Section on Pediatrics guidelines) • Conference calls • IRB preparation • Preparation of full grant proposal Funds may not be used to pay for: • Students, fellows • Data collection • Purchase of computers or other equipment • Indirect or overhead costs • Expenses related to project dissemination REPORTING REQUIREMENTS • A progress report on achievement of planning grant objectives must be submitted to the Section on Pediatrics 12 months after the grant is awarded. • An abstract on the planning process must be submitted for presentation at the APTA Combined Sections Meeting. • A copy of the completed research proposal submitted for federal funding must be submitted to the Section on Pediatrics. • Support of the Section on Pediatrics must be acknowledged in any presentation or publication of the planning process or the subsequent grant application. REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS Planning grant proposals will be reviewed by two secondary reviewers and one primary reviewer who are members of the Section on Pediatrics Research Committee. If the committee chair determines that an inadequate number of committee members have the expertise necessary to review the proposals, the chair may appoint one or more ad hoc reviewers. Each reviewer independently reads and evaluates the proposal. Secondary reviewers are blind to the investigator’s identity and report their review results to the primary reviewer. The primary reviewer evaluates the study and the investigators’ abilities (based on the attached CVs) and submits the subcommittee’s report and opinion regarding funding to the chair. The investigators must submit biosketches on the NIH 398 form. Each principal investigator receives a copy of the review summary from the chair with the review committee’s recommendation regarding funding.
