APTA is seeking three members to serve a two-year term on the Research Awards Subcommittee.

• Recommend potential recipients to the Awards Committee for final review.

This subcommittee will review nominations received for the following awards:
• Eugene Michels New Investigator Award
• Marian Williams Award for Research in Physical Therapy
