Calling all orthopaedic researchers! The Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for the following research awards:

CSES Research Grant

In collaboration with the Canadian Shoulder and Elbow Society, the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation established the CSES Research Grant to support and encourage orthopaedic surgeons to conduct collaborative shoulder or elbow research. Individual awards are in the amount of up to $20,000.

Community Innovation Award

The Community Innovation Award celebrates community-based surgeons and research studies dedicated to improving patient care or musculoskeletal health in their community. These community surgeons are not academics, do not have a research history, and do not have research staff, but may have an academic appointment to teach on an occasional basis. This program fills a gap in the research landscape in Canada, encouraging community orthopaedic researchers to bring their research ideas to fruition. Individual awards are in the amount of up to $15,000.

If you are a researcher, we invite you to submit your application. We also ask your assistance in ensuring orthopaedic researchers at your institution and in your community 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 September 30, 2021.

The Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation is a health charity dedicated solely to helping people maintain and restore their mobility. We are pleased to provide this funding to help ensure Canada retains its status as a world leader in orthopaedic research.
