Hohn-Johnson Research Grant supports researchers studying musculoskeletal conditions in animals to advance scientific investigation, improve orthopedic patient care, and share findings with veterinarians.
Funder: Veterinary Orthopedic Society
Due Dates (Anticipated): October 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: Up to $40,000 for one award annually; project completion expected within 24 months
Summary: Supports research into musculoskeletal conditions in animals and communication of findings to the veterinary orthopedic community.
Key Information: The principal investigator must be an active VOS member by September 1 of the application year.
The Hohn-Johnson Research Grant is administered by the Veterinary Orthopedic Society (VOS) to support research into musculoskeletal conditions in animals. It is part of the society’s competitive research grant program, alongside the Wade O. Brinker grants, and provides funding for one project each year. The program supports VOS’s goals of furthering scientific investigation and improving orthopedic patient care.
Funded projects are expected to be completed within 24 months, with annual progress reports continuing until completion. The program also connects research with the society’s scientific community: recipients are strongly encouraged to present their project, data, and conclusions through a scientific abstract at an annual VOS meeting. Additional travel support is available when the final research report is presented first at that meeting.
