Grants totaling $30,000 to USA and Puerto Rico researchers for projects that study the impact or effectiveness of physical, occupational, or speech therapy in an inpatient rehabilitation facility post-acute care setting. The funding is available for research only, and funds may be divided between several proposed studies.
Funds may be requested to support direct costs attributable to the study, excluding the investigators’ time.
The overall objective of this grant is to support research efforts that investigate the impact and/or effectiveness of therapy services within the inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) or home health post-acute care settings. This grant award would also support studies that investigate implementation science or knowledge translation that studies implementing evidence into practice. Through this grant award, Encompass Health is promoting efforts to expand the available research by exploring the impact and assisting in filling the gap of available research for therapy in IRFs and the home health settings.
This list of potential topics offers interested applicants subjects which may be considered the highest priority for the grant funding award:
- Efficacy of physical, occupational, or speech therapy assessments or interventions
- Impact of modes or intensity of therapies on patient outcomes and experience
- Impact of therapy assessments or interventions on outcomes or experience

- Patient and caregiver education programming impact or outcomes
- Impact of IRF therapy services on the continuum of care throughout a patient’s medical event, including re-hospitalization and post-acute care
- Implementation research aimed at the study of methods to implement research findings
The applications submitted will be evaluated based on:
- Scientific merit and experience of principal investigator(s),
-Relevance to the grant program objectives, and
- Expected outcomes and study feasibility.
