Description
The Orthopaedic Research Society (ORS) sponsors this award to honor an investigator with a sustained, ongoing body of focused research in tissue regeneration as it relates to the musculoskeletal system. Created in 1996, the award recognizes substantive contributions to the field through both research and mentoring, rather than a single research project.
The award emphasizes innovation, collaboration, continued productivity, translational research, and professionalism, alongside a sustained commitment to mentorship. It is named for Marshall R. Urist, whose pioneering studies of bone induction and identification of bone morphogenetic protein helped establish orthopaedic growth factor research. The recipient presents at the ORS Annual Meeting and must attend to accept the award.
