About the Award

The Fellows Research Awards are given annually by the Fellowship Committee to the best research submitted by abstract for the AOSSM Annual Meeting from a sports medicine fellow. The awards are given in two categories, Clinical Science and Basic Science.

Each recipient receives $1,500, an award plaque, and is asked to present their paper at the AOSSM Annual Meeting.
