The application period for 2010-2011 grants has closed.  THANK YOU to all applicants.

Introduced in late 2008, the OREF Clinician Development Program (CDP)
provides a way for industry to support essential educational programs for
orthopaedic surgeons through institutional and individual grants while
complying with best practices for independence and transparency.  The CDP
program establishes OREF as solely responsible for inviting and reviewing
applications, determining qualified candidates, and selecting recipients. 

Developed as a 21st century model for grant-making, free of donor bias and
backed by OREF’s 50-plus year tradition of advancing orthopaedics through
research and education, the CDP program has earned the approval of monitors
appointed by the U.S. Department of Justice for several device manufacturers.

OREF also offers a range of individual grants and awards and resident grants
and awards, with an emphasis on encouraging young investigators and
educators.
