The PEDro project has been supported by several organisations and many individuals.
The Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy expresses its gratitude to these organisations and individuals but retains editorial independence from them.
| Professor Rob de Bie of the Rehabilitation
and Related Therapies Field of the Cochrane Collaboration generously provided an existing database of 1600 trials, and arranged for
the copying of 1000 trials. |

The APA currently makes an annual donation to PEDro, at a rate of $1 (AUD) per member. Annual donations are also being made by the Koninklijk Nederlands Genootschap voor Fysiotherapie (Royal Dutch Society for Physical Therapy), Suomen Fysioterapeutit - Finlands Fysioterapeuter (Finnish Association of Physiotherapists), American Physical Therapy Association (APTA), Deutscher Verband für Physiotherapie, and the Singapore Physiotherapy Association. |

Andrew Duncan (Splash IT Consulting) designed the interactive web pages. Ongoing maintenance and development for the interactive web pages has since been supplied by Tim Booth (Niche IT) and Rob Woof (Advanced Database Systems), through the Information & Communication Technology department at the University of Sydney.
