Abstract
Foundational to any health profession is the seeking of new knowledge based upon, and guided by, scientific inquiry. To determine what new knowledge is most needed, stakeholders will often create research agendas to guide the path of future research. This editorial introduces the Massage Therapy Foundation's 2020 Research Agenda, and invites readers to provide input into the prioritization of objectives and goals within the Agenda.
