Description
The JRGOS/Zimmer Biomet Research Grant for Medical Students supports studies that advance the mission of the J. Robert Gladden Orthopaedic Society. That mission is to increase diversity in orthopaedic surgery and promote high-quality musculoskeletal care for all patients. The program links funding for a defined research study with an expectation that its results can be measured by the end of the grant cycle.
The research proposal must articulate specific aims and explain the study’s significance, innovation, and approach. A timeline for each aim connects the proposed work to its planned progress. Medical students carry out the research with a supervising orthopaedic surgeon, and recipients provide regular updates to JRGOS.
