The AOSSM (American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine) offers the Steven P. Arnoczky Young Investigator Grant, providing up to $40,000 per grant with a total of up to $80,000 to support clinical and basic science research for early-career orthopaedic surgeons. This grant aims to train surgeons as principal investigators, fostering skills in hypothesis generation, experimental design, research execution, and result interpretation under mentorship. Eligibility is limited to orthopaedic surgeons who have completed or are in an approved residency program, have received less than $25,000 in external funding, and must remain affiliated with their parent institution throughout the project.
