Research - APERF and JFAR

The Australian Podiatry Education and Research Foundation (APERF) was established in 1990 to advance research into the causes, prevention and treatment of foot pain to help keep Australians healthy, active and productive.

With the help of generous donations from the podiatry community – podiatrists, medical suppliers and patients, APERF has supported more than 70 research projects in almost 30 years. These donations directly provide grants to support researchers as they embark upon many and varied academic studies to improve the impact of podiatric treatments. To find out more about the research projects supported by APERF, click here.

APERF is guided by four main values: Impact, Excellence, Equity and Collaboration. APERF welcomes all podiatrists and industry partners to get involved and connect with APERF. For more information about the annual APERF grant program, application process and different ways to contribute to the podiatry foundation, head to APERF`s website.
