American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine: Osteoarthritis Research

Research Priorities:

• Projects investigating the pre-osteoarthritic joint
• Projects examining prevention or treatment of PTOA
• Projects determining the relationship between injury and OA
• Projects that enhance clinical understanding of articular cartilage response to injury
• Projects investigating OA after ligamentous or meniscal injury, especially basic and translational studies
• Clinical trials or pilots addressing prevention or treatment of post-joint injury OA
• Projects exploring preventative strategies to diminish the long-term risk of OA following acute injury
• Projects explicitly investigating biological or biomechanical progression of OA following injury

Funding: award of $50,000 to be disbursed over a 12-month period.

• Any investigative team seeking such a grant must include at least one member of AOSSM in good standing
