Funder: Orthopaedic Research Society
Due Dates: Due Dates (Anticipated): Not yet announced
Funding Amounts: Up to $5,000 per grant for travel, accommodation, and living costs
Summary: Supports research exchanges between orthopaedic and musculoskeletal researchers at different institutions to share expertise, techniques, and methodologies.
Key Information: Applicants must be ORS members in good standing, and exchanges are expected to last at least two weeks.
The Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) established this program in 2010 to support collaborative exchanges between orthopaedic and musculoskeletal researchers at different institutions. It gives investigators at any career stage an opportunity to visit another research laboratory, share knowledge, and bring together complementary expertise so that the collaboration achieves more than the researchers could separately.
The grants support research visits that foster orthopaedic-related collaboration and facilitate the exchange of new research methodologies and techniques. Visits are intended to produce new knowledge, skills, or collaborative outcomes that benefit both the research and the investigator’s career. Funding helps cover the travel, accommodation, and living costs associated with these exchanges.
