OREF/OTA Trauma Research Grant with funding support from Arthrex
Forecasted
OREF/OTA Trauma Research Grant with funding support from Arthrex supports investigators studying innovative ankle fracture surgery strategies to address bone, soft tissue, or metabolic challenges in clinical care.
Funder: Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation
Due Dates (Anticipated): December 2026 (Letter of Intent) | February 2027 (Application)
Funding Amounts: $150,000
Summary: Supports investigator-initiated research on innovative operative strategies for ankle fractures complicated by compromised bone, soft tissue, or metabolic challenges.
Key Information: The PI must be an orthopaedic surgeon, and either the PI or co-PI must be an active OTA member in good standing.
Description
The Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF) offers this orthopaedic trauma research grant with funding support from Arthrex. It supports investigator-initiated studies of innovative strategies for operatively managing ankle fractures when compromised bone, compromised soft tissue, or metabolic challenges are likely to increase complication risk. The focus is on these specific challenges in ankle fracture surgery, rather than orthopaedic trauma research broadly.
OREF encourages well-crafted basic, translational, and clinical studies with clear clinical relevance. Proposed research should generate results with practical application, with that relevance reflected in the abstract, specific aims, title, and study design.
