title: Foundation funding for clinical research.
abstract: Foundation managers view themselves as catalysts rather than instigators of change. As clinical researchers, physical therapists must become instigators in determining the direction of change for patient care and physical therapy services. Foundations offer monetary support to make those determinations, and the approach can be as simple as that outlined in this article. "The right person with the right project approaching the right foundation faces only one problem. That problem is not lack of sympathy or lack of understanding or lack of interest. The problem is simply: Is there enough money?"
