Resident Research Project Grant

• Provides funding to residents who are interested in research.
• Covers research expenses, but not salary or travel.
• Work should clearly be achievable by the resident as a free-standing project even when it is a part of a larger work.
• Both laboratory and clinical projects (e.g. outcome studies) are suitable, but in either case clinical relevance must be explicitly and clearly described.
• The resident will learn to write a competitive research proposal and will develop a relationship with a mentor who has research experience and mentored others.

• Applications may be submitted by domestic non-profit, public and private institutions of higher education, such as hospitals, medical schools, universities and colleges.
• The applicant (PI) must be an orthopaedic surgery resident in an ACGME-Accredited orthopaedic program in the United States.
• Resident Research Project grants now have 3 deadlines per year. Please choose the deadline that most closely aligns with your research rotation. Residents will be allowed to submit one application per year.

All orthopaedic topics will be considered; proposals related to sports, shoulder and elbow, spine and pediatrics are encouraged.
