Arthritis Foundation-AOSSM Shoulder Arthritis Research Grant

About this program

The Arthritis Foundation and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) jointly offer the Shoulder Arthritis Research Grant, providing up to $500,000 for 3-year clinical research projects focused on shoulder pathology and osteoarthritis development. Proposals must address significant clinical challenges requiring multicenter involvement and prioritize high-risk patient populations for rapidly progressing osteoarthritis. Eligibility is restricted to practicing orthopaedic surgeons fellowship-trained in sports medicine or shoulder and elbow who are AOSSM members, with the Principal Investigator (PI) or co-PI meeting these criteria. Applicants should submit proposals via ProposalCentral by searching 'arthritis' under the 'Grant Opportunities' tab.
