YOUNG RESEARCHERS FLOOD OREF WITH FUNDING REQUESTS
RECORD-BREAKER
The number of research grant applications OREF has received for Project Year
2011 represents a 34% increase over last year, with 353 proposals received. The
amount of funding requested, $16.2 million, is an 89% increase over requests
received for Project Year 2010.
If past
trends hold, our peer review teams will highly rank roughly twice as many
proposals as we have funding to support.
EVERY GIFT MATTERS.
Please encourage your members to help OREF fund more clinically relevant
research and education. Generous giving by orthopaedic surgeons by December 31
will support more of the clinically relevant research that contributes to
quality of life for orthopaedists and their patients. Visit www.oref.org now to make a secure, online gift.
