Steven P. Arnoczky Young Investigator Grant

About the Grant

The Steven P. Arnoczky Young Investigator Grant provides a grant of up to $40,000 to support clinical and basic science research for early-career principal investigators (up to $80,000 total). This grant opportunity aims to train early-career surgeons as principal investigators, perform the primary role in generating the hypothesis, design the experiment, carry it out, and interpret the results with the assistance of an experienced supervisor and/or investigative team.

Eligibility:

A Young Investigator is defined as an orthopaedic surgeon who has graduated from an approved residency program or is a resident currently in an approved program. The Principal Investigator must document and perform the primary role in the proposed project and remain associated with the parent institution for the duration of the project period. A Principal Investigator that has received less than $25,000 in funding from organizations external to their parent institution.
