About the Grant
Reflecting the recognition of the importance of osteoarthritis (OA) and the preponderance of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), the Osteoarthritis Research Grant provides one grant of up to $50,000 to support a research project related to the early and/or the prevention of OA progression. While basic science or translational projects are preferred for this grant opportunity, innovative study designs integrating clinical patients are eligible. Proposals are not required to relate specifically to sports injuries and should also have broad applicability to OA or PTOA in the general population.
