title: Building a research program in physical medicine and rehabilitation.
abstract: There is a clear need for increased rigorous research in physical medicine and rehabilitation. The objective of this article is to describe the decisions, environment, and other factors that can lead to the growth of extramurally funded research at academic institutions. Together with case examples presented in the accompanying article, it is hoped that these articles can help chairs and deans who are attempting to improve medical rehabilitation research efforts at their schools.
