About the Grant
In collaboration with the Arthritis Foundation, AOSSM will offer up to three grants ($250,000 each) to fund studies addressing an important clinical problem focused on hip pathology and the rapid development of osteoarthritis. The goal of this funding mechanism is to support studies that will establish or advance a programmatic line of research that can become competitive for major external funding (e.g. NIH, PCORI, DOD)
