Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation: Call for Research Applications 2017

Posted by Danielle Andres on August 14, 2017 in Research Funding

The Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the following two research awards:

J. Edouard Samson Award

The premier award for orthopaedic research in Canada, the J. Edouard Samson Award, recognizes the best career orthopaedic research over a period of five (5) years or more at a Canadian centre. This $30,000 award is intended to promote further research by the recipient. The recipient will present his/her research at the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Orthopaedic Association (presentation opportunity to be determined). The award consists of an educational grant and a personal research grant to be used by the recipient at the Canadian institution where he/she currently resides.

Canadian Orthopaedic Research Legacy Grant

The CORL program enables orthopaedic surgeons to make designated donations to ensure continued Canadian research in orthopaedics. Established in 2006, CORL funds new and innovative research leading to improved patient outcomes. Each award consists of a $20,000 grant to be used by the winner to further their research project.

If you are a researcher, we invite you to submit your application. We also ask your assistance in ensuring orthopaedic researchers at your institution are made aware of these funding opportunities. Application forms and guidelines are available at www.whenithurtstomove.org: click on Research & Awards. The deadline for submitting applications is October 31, 2017. Decisions will be announced early in 2018.
