Young Investigators Grant
The Young Investigator Grant provides awards in amounts of up to $40,000 aimed at
providing "seed money," or start-up funds, for pilot projects. The principal investigator
must be an early career orthopaedic surgeon, fellow, or resident with interests
in sports medicine research. Any investigative team seeking such a grant must include
at least one member of AOSSM in good standing.
All applications must be submitted online.

Pre-reviews: In an effort to improve the quality
and competitiveness of submissions, the AOSSM Research Committee will pre-review
and critique applications prior to the final application deadline. This pre-review
is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED but not required. It is anticipated that by participating
in the pre-review process, the applicant's chances for funding will improve. The
pre-review will focus on: 1) significance of proposed research, 2) scientific quality,
3) statistical methods, 4) realistic nature of goals, 5) long term value of results,
and 6) pilot data. Use the online submitter for the pre-review. You must complete
an online application by August 15th in order to receive a pre-review.
Note: Final submission deadline: December 1st
before midnight. Please contact Bart Mann at the Society office
with any questions.
Sandy Kirkley Clinical Outcome Research Grant
The late Dr. Sandy Kirkley was a passionate advocate for well-conducted randomized
controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of interventions in orthopaedic sports
medicine. It was her strong contention that the field must "rise to the challenge
of designing and implementing clinical trials that provide the same level of evidence
in support of treatments as our nonsurgical colleagues demand." It is one of her
intellectual legacies, then, that our profession in general and the Society specifically
embrace and support outcome research that has the potential to inform evidence-based
practice.
To honor the memory and spirit of Dr. Kirkley, AOSSM has established a small grant
of $20,000 that would provide start-up, "seed," or supplemental funding for an outcome
research project or pilot study. One grant will be awarded each year and eligible
applicants are not restricted to newer investigators as is the case for the Young
Investigator Grants.
All applications must be submitted online.

online by August 15th.
Final submission deadline: December 1st before midnight.
