Funder: Orthopaedic Trauma Association
Due Dates (Anticipated): June 2027 (full application/submission deadline, projected)
Funding Amounts: Up to $150,000 total over two years per award
Summary: Supports research evaluating whether anatomic radial head arthroplasty outperforms non-anatomic or spacer alternatives using innovative study designs.
Key Information: PI or co-PI must be an OTA Active, Clinical, or Research member in good standing.
The Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) Directed Topic Grant invites research proposals focused on determining whether anatomic radial head arthroplasty is superior to non-anatomic arthroplasty or spacer options. The grant encourages innovative methodologies and novel study designs to rigorously address this clinical hypothesis. Projects may include pilot feasibility trials or studies that propose unique outcome measures or investigative approaches, provided they align with the available resources. The initiative aims to advance the scientific understanding of radial head arthroplasty outcomes.
