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.
All information should be submitted in one pdf document to Bart Mann, AOSSM Director of Research. AOSSM gratefully acknowledges MTF for the educational grant to support this activity.

Vargas International Hand Therapy Teaching Award
Deadline: December 1, 2012, 11:59PM EST
The Vargas International Hand Therapy Teaching Award is named in honor of Dr. Miguel Vargas, a hand surgeon who practiced in Puerto Rico and was an international emissary for education.
The Award is an outgrowth of the AAHS’s mission. Its intent is therapy outreach - to foster an exchange of educational ideas between therapists in the AAHS and in the host country to result in improved patient care for upper extremity problems. The Vargas Award is hand therapy education driven. Education is the foremost purpose and mission of the Award, with a portion of the trip emphasizing hands-on postoperative care of the upper extremity in host countries where surgery is applicable and possible.
The Vargas Award is bestowed annually. A grant reimbursing up to $5000 in trip-related expenses, including supplies needed for the mission, will be made to the therapist Award recipient.
Who can apply for the Vargas Award? The Vargas Award will be granted to a hand therapist currently practicing in the area of hand therapy. A therapist may apply to participate in an unspecified future mission or propose a mission. A practicing hand surgeon may propose a future mission or apply to accompany a therapist on a future mission; however, no funding will be awarded to the surgeon. Surgeons chosen for a Vargas mission are expected to be self-funded or seek outside funding. A therapist/surgeon team may propose a mission, but funding will be applied only to the therapist's expenses.
Guidelines Applicants must be current AAHS members. Applicants must be actively practicing in the area of hand therapy or surgery. If accepted for a mission, individuals must be willing to travel for up to 2 weeks.
Following the trip, the therapist will be required to share his/her mission experience with the AAHS membership by writing an article for the Hand Surgery Quarterly newsletter and presenting a report at the Annual Meeting. If applicable, it is preferred that the therapist and surgeon present their experiences jointly as an extension of their trip in the spirit of continued collaboration.
If a therapist is unable to afford attendance to the AAHS Annual Meeting, the unused funds from the Vargas Award may be applied toward this expense so that the Award winner can present at the Annual Meeting.
Category 1 Therapists or surgeons who would like to apply to participate in a future Vargas mission, but do not have a specific mission to propose
Category 2 Therapists, surgeons, or therapist/surgeon teams who would like to propose a future Vargas mission
If an individual knows of a potential Vargas mission contact or host facility, please notify the AAHS administrative office at contact@handsurgery.org.

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.
