Conducting Survey Research:

The American Academy of Orthotists and Prosthetists (the Academy) is committed to advancing research within the Orthotic, Prosthetic, and Pedic profession and encourages research in related fields. As a service to the O&P profession and the healthcare community, the Academy will distribute approved research survey invitations.

Survey distribution does not represent endorsement of a research project. The Academy acts solely as an agent for disseminating research surveys to help inform the future of quality patient care.

Application and Review Process

Requests for survey distribution will undergo review by the Academy’s Research Council. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the year; however, no more than three surveys will be approved for distribution within a one-year period.

Application submission deadlines:

  • January 15
  • April 15
  • September 15
