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.

Population Sciences Institutional Program Unifying Population and Laboratory Based Sciences
Application Deadlines: Letter of Intent: February 15, 2012 Full Application (by invitation only): May 21, 2012
Accepting electronic applications only.
In 2008 the Burroughs Wellcome Fund launched an institutional award program for five-year institutional training awards providing $500,000 a year to bridge the gap between the population and computational sciences and the laboratory-based biological sciences. The award supports the training of researchers between existing concentrations of research strength in population approaches to human health and in basic biological sciences. The goal is to establish training programs by partnering researchers working in schools of medicine and schools (or academic divisions) of public health.
Awards are made to institutions. The institutions are responsible for disbursing the funds and for maintaining adequate supporting records and receipts of expenditures. BWF does not support indirect costs. Salaries of support personnel and materials appropriate to administering the program should be included as direct costs.
Institutions must provide BWF with an annual progress report detailing scientific or organizational progress and mentoring activities. Institutions must provide an annual financial report. Both reports must be submitted within 30 days of the end of each award year. Continued funding will depend on the favorable review of these reports by BWF and its program advisory committee.
During the award period, unused research funds may be carried over to the succeeding year. Any unused funds (greater than $500) held by institutions when awards expire or are terminated must be returned to BWF, unless the Fund has granted prior permission to retain the funds. Institutions may receive a no-cost extension of up to 24 months; requests explaining why an extension is needed must be submitted in writing at least three months prior to the end of the award.
Scientific publications or presentations that result from these awards must acknowledge the institution's receipt of a Burroughs Wellcome Fund Population and Laboratory Based Sciences Award. Copies of journal articles and other publications should be sent to BWF along with the annual progress report.
BWF will not retain any rights to published results or patents that result from the research. Awarded programs should follow their institutions’ patent, copyright, and intellectual property policies regarding discoveries that result from research conducted under these awards.
BWF expects the appropriate federal, state, and local guidelines with regard to scientific misconduct are in place and enforced at all institutions. Institutions are expected to adhere to all federal, state, and local regulations regarding the participation of human subjects, and the use of animals, radioactive or hazardous materials, and recombinant DNA in their research projects.
Scientific findings should be shared in a timely manner via the standard means of scientific communication, including publications and/or presentations in scientific forums.
Award recipients will be notified and announced in November 2012, and grants will begin in February 2013.
