As a service to ACAPT members and the research community, ACAPT has agreed to share approved member research survey invitations.  This does not represent an endorsement of a research project.  ACAPT is acting solely as an agent for the dissemination of research surveys.

“Distribution of our research survey through ACAPT was a huge help!”
Krista Rompolski from Moravian University.

"The ACAPT survey distribution service helped increase my response rate and reach critical respondents I did not otherwise have access to. I am so glad I made the choice to advertise!"
Amanda Sharp from University of Minnesota

• Tips for your survey:

  • Because the survey will appear publicly on this site for one month, we encourage researchers to design their survey to eliminate responses that do not fit the desired characteristics of participants.
  • We ask researchers to credit the "American Council of Academic Physical Therapy (ACAPT) - www.acapt.org" in your survey references.
  • Upon completion of your research, we ask researchers to share a summary of your results with ACAPT participants and also send results to acapt@acapt.org, referencing your survey title and purpose.
