OREF/Musculoskeletal Transplant Foundation Research Grant supports orthopaedic investigators studying biologic reconstruction, bone regeneration, and transplantation to produce clinically relevant results.
Funder: Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation
Due Dates (Anticipated): February 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: $100,000
Summary: Supports investigator-initiated research on biologic reconstruction, bone regeneration, allografts, and stem cells for graft transplantation.
Key Information: PIs must be U.S.-licensed orthopaedic surgeons working at U.S. institutions or PhDs with U.S. orthopaedic department faculty appointments.
The Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF) offers this grant to support investigator-initiated research in the science of biologic reconstruction, bone regeneration, and transplantation. Its scope includes allografts and the use of stem cells for graft transplantation. Multidisciplinary research activity is strongly encouraged.
OREF invites clinically relevant orthopaedic research and encourages well-crafted basic, translational, and clinical studies. Projects should generate results with a practical application, with clinical relevance clearly expressed in the abstract and specific aims and evident from the title and study design. New investigators who have demonstrated a sustained interest in research and excellence in their training are encouraged to apply.
