Meniscal Allograft Transplantation Grant
The American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM), in partnership with the Musculoskeletal Foundation (MTF), is pleased to announce a one-time grant of $300,000 to support a research project that focuses on meniscal allograft transplantation. The purpose of this grant is to foster research for clinically relevant biomechanical studies, basic science studies, preclinical or clinical studies related to meniscal transplantation. Projects related solely to meniscus repair or preservation, meniscus regeneration, collagen implants, and other such topics will not be considered for this grant. At least one investigator on each application must be a full AOSSM member. Collaborative, multi-center studies will be strongly encouraged and will be given special consideration in the review process. The application deadline is April 1, 2012. Award notices will be made on or after July 1st with a start date of September 1, 2012. Inquires can be directed to Bart Mann, AOSSM Director of Research.

Targeted Research Initiative for Women with Epilepsy
Application Deadline: March 21, 2012
Award Amount: up to $50,000 maximum for one year Apply via Proposal Central website
The Targeted Research Initiative for Women with Epilepsy grant program was developed to support research that generates initial data leading to more extensive projects that will have direct relevance to care of women with epilepsy. Research should focus on investigation of one of the many areas that preferentially affect women with epilepsy during the reproductive life cycle. The research may target any point along the reproductive spectrum, including puberty through menopause. Examples of topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following areas: neuroendocrine disorders, hormone influence on seizure susceptibility, infertility, polycystic ovarian syndrome, contraceptive strategies, complications during pregnancy, and pregnancy outcomes.
The Foundation invites research grant applications from interested investigators to conduct innovative research in these areas, ultimately leading to advances in diagnosis and optimal therapeutic strategies for women with epilepsy. The broad focus of this RFP includes both fundamental and clinical research, and encourages translational research. The peer review for this program will assess proposals based not only on scientific merit, but also on relevance to the goals of the program.
Applicants may request up to $50,000 maximum for one year.

Student Scholarships in Cardiovascular Disease and Stroke
*Note to applicants: Both funded and unfunded applicants for the 2012 cycle will be notified of the results by mid-May via email.
The scientific councils of the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association want to stimulate interest, knowledge and investigative work in students in medicine, nursing, public health, nutrition and other allied health disciplines. AHA Student Scholarships support students conducting research projects related to cardiovascular disease, stroke and basic sciences early during pre-doctoral training, usually during the summer. AHA scholarships provide valuable stipends for students during the research project. The stipends may be used for student expenses, lab fees, or other costs incurred by the student during the project.
Student Scholarships in Cardiovascular Disease (Sponsored by Multiple AHA/ASA Scientific Councils)
Up to 30 scholarships worth $2000 will be available for students researching cardiovascular disease topics within basic, clinical, or population sciences.
Student Scholarships in Cerebrovascular Disease and Stroke (Sponsored by the Stroke Council)
Up to ten $2000 scholarships will be available for students specifically researching cerebrovascular disease and stroke. Scholarship recipients will also have the opportunity to receive a travel grant to attend the AHA’s International Stroke Conference 2013.
Eligibility
Eligible applicants include students in medical schools or in master's or equivalent programs in an accredited school in the United States where research training in cardiovascular disease and stroke is available.
Ph.D.s and current M.D./Ph.D. students in the basic sciences committed to research careers are ineligible unless the Ph.D. was obtained previously in an area not related to the one in the proposed study.
Each applicant and applicant's preceptor must be members of the AHA/ASA at the time of application.
The awards will be made to institutions within the United States in which the research training is available to students under qualified supervision. If the student conducts the research at a location other than his/her home institution, he/she must have written approval of his/her dean or other responsible individual.
Deadline All applications must be complete and submitted through the Council Awards Application System by 5 p.m. Central Standard Time on March 1, 2012. Any applications still in "Draft" (unsubmitted) status at the application deadline will not be considered. Applicants needing to join the AHA should do so by Feb. 24 for the membership to be processed and valid in time for the March 1 application deadline.
