The Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) International Research Grant supports research conducted outside North America by OTA members based outside the region. The program provides two awards, organized by the international member’s country of residence using World Bank income groupings.
One award supports investigators residing in low- and lower-middle-income countries, while the other supports investigators residing in high- and upper-middle-income countries. This structure supports international research across both country-income groups. The program forms part of OTA’s research funding portfolio, administered through its Research Committee to support basic-science and clinical investigation in orthopaedic trauma.
