American Society for Bone and Mineral Research Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Award
The contributions of Harold M. Frost to the field of bone and mineral research have left an indelible mark on the current understanding of skeletal health and disease. Harold Frost's ideas transformed the face of skeletal biology and orthopedic science and he is regarded by many as being the most influential theoretician in skeletal biology of the 20th century. Harold Frost developed the process of quantitative bone histomorphometry, discovered the intermediary organization of bone and shed theoretical insights into the adaptation of bone to mechanical forces and hormones.
In addition to Harold Frost's many scientific accomplishments, he was a mentor to countless clinicians and basic scientists. For nearly forty years, he was an active participant of the International Sun Valley Hard Tissue Workshop, an annual meeting that emphasizes active participation and interaction between young investigators and senior investigators. Through his participation at the Sun Valley meeting, Harold Frost influenced many young scientists and made a profound impact on the direction of skeletal biology and metabolic bone disease.
ASBMR and the Sun Valley meeting organizers honor Harold Frost's legacy of supporting the development of young investigators by establishing the ASBMR Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awards. The next Sun Valley meeting will be held August 5-8, 2012.
The deadline for receipt of applications is Thursday, April 5, 2012.
The ASBMR Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awards were established in collaboration with the Sun Valley meeting organizers. Nine awards of $1,500 each are awarded based on competitive application and review by a committee. The young investigators who receive awards are required to present their research during a 15 minute presentation at the Sun Valley Workshop on Musculoskeletal Biology.
This program is intended to stimulate young investigator development and provide them an opportunity to present their research.
Eligibility
Professional status of nominee should be at a level of 2 year post-doctoral fellow or resident up to no more than 2 years as Assistant Professor as of September 1, 2011. Note: ASBMR Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awards are open to ASBMR members and nonmembers.
Grant That grant amount to be provided is $1,500.
Administration of the ASBMR Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awards Program is carried out by ASBMR. The ASBMR President and Sun Valley Director each select two members to serve on the nomination review panel. The ASBMR reviewers are members who attend or have attended the Sun Valley Meeting. The ASBMR staff administers the review process, which includes sending the nomination packets to the review panel, arranging the review panel conference call, and sending out the acceptance letters. The review panel then meets via conference call to discuss the scores and agrees on the nine young investigator awardees.
A total of nine young investigators will be selected to receive ASBMR Harold M. Frost Young Investigator Awards and are required to present their research during a 15 minute presentation with an additional 10 minutes for detailed discussion at the Sun Valley Workshop on Skeletal Tissue Biology. The meeting registration fee is waived for awardees, but they are expected to make their own arrangements for travel and accommodations. The $1,500 awards are presented as a component of the meeting.

American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine/Genzyme Osteoarthritis Grant
AOSSM, in partnership with Genzyme Biosurgery, is pleased to announce a new research grant program to fund investigations related to early osteoarthritis (OA) and/or prevention of OA progression. This grant reflects the growing recognition of the importance of osteoarthritis within sports medicine and orthopaedics. The program is an outgrowth of the Society’s conferences on post-joint injury OA held in December 2008 and 2010 and it underscores Genzyme’s long standing commitment to osteoarthritis research and therapy. The grant will be for $50,000 to support a lab/basic science project to separate investigators over successive three years. Proposed studies need not relate specifically to sports injuries and should also have broad applicability to OA in the general population. Projects involving viscosupplementation will not be considered for either grant.
Applications will be reviewed for their potential impact on the field, the quality of study approach, and ability of investigator and site(s) to conduct and complete the proposed research. The Principal Investigator or at least one co-investigator on all applications must be an AOSSM member who has completed his or her training. It is expected that grantees will submit the results from their funded study to AOSSM for podium presentation and to AJSM for publication.
The submission deadline is August 1st, 2012. The award notice will be made on or after October 15th with a start date of January 1, 2013. Inquires can be directed to Bart Mann, AOSSM Director of Research.
All information should be submitted in one pdf document to Bart Mann, AOSSM Director of Research.
AOSSM gratefully acknowledges Genzyme for the education grant to support this activity.

• Setup of a basic science or biomechanical study: from experimental design, study execution, to scientific reporting;
• Study execution in a professional basic science or biomechanical laboratory;
• Application of good laboratory practice;
• Data processing and interpretation, scientific reporting and publication of findings.
The OTCF Basic Science and Biomechanical Research Fellowship is devoted to students in medicine, biomedical sciences, engineering, or junior surgeons/engineers, who plan to perform a pilot study in the area of basic science or biomechanics in trauma research.
The monetary award for the Basic Science or Biomechanical Research Fellowship covers all expenses incurred, including travel, accommodation, and a daily subsistence allowance, for an approximate duration of up to three months. The exact amount will be determined on a case by case basis.
The OTC Foundation makes up to four Basic Science or Biomechanical Research Fellowships available annually. The deadline for submissions are 1st of October and 1st of March. Applications are reviewed twice per year, at the spring and fall sessions of RECO.
