Funder: Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation
Due Dates: April 22, 2026 (Letter of Intent) | June 24, 2026 (Full application)
Funding Amounts: $20,000 per award; typically one-year duration.
Summary: Supports orthopaedic surgery residents in conducting independent research to prepare for research-focused careers.
Description
This grant is designed to support orthopaedic surgery residents or fellows in U.S.-approved orthopaedic programs who are interested in pursuing research as a significant component of their careers. The program funds research projects that are achievable by residents as stand-alone efforts, even if they are part of a larger study. The expectation is that the research will lead to publication with the resident as an author, helping to foster the next generation of clinician-scientists in orthopaedics.
