Call for Proposals: National Collegiate Athletic Association CHOICES Grant Program
Submissions must be postmarked by February 16, 2012
The misuse of alcohol by college students is of great concern to the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).
In an effort to educate students about the risks involved with the misuse of alcohol, the NCAA has, through the support of the NCAA Foundation and Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc., developed CHOICES, a grant program for alcohol education.
Through the CHOICES program, the NCAA provides funding for NCAA member institutions and conferences to integrate athletics into campus-wide efforts to reduce alcohol abuse. CHOICES projects must partner athletics with other campus partners in the development and implementation of effective alcohol-education projects on college campuses.

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.

American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine/Smith & Nephew Innovative Outcomes Assessment Grant
AOSSM is pleased to announce a new grant sponsored by Smith & Nephew to support development of innovative approaches to measuring the effects of surgical procedures in orthopaedic sports medicine. This $25,000 grant is meant to advance the evaluation of clinical outcomes related to surgery by encouraging development of novel approaches, techniques, and/or methodology that will facilitate and enhance clinical research. Examples might include new web-based instruments to allow inter-institutional collaborative efforts, tools to quantify joint laxity, or innovative methods to measure the results of arthroscopic procedures about the hip. The intent of this award is to provide start-up funding for the development of tools and/or technology that can be leveraged and used for future, larger-scale clinical research studies.
Applications for this grant will be judged on three criteria:
• Innovation • Feasibility • Clinical Significance
The proposal should define the limitations with currently available assessments, clearly describe the proposed innovative approach, state how the new assessment will be tested, and discuss the clinical significance of this novel method to the field if successful. Because this grant is intended to foster new ideas and creativity, prior data related to the innovation is not required but can be presented to establish feasibility. Deadline for applications is April 17, 2012. The principal investigator or a co-investigator must be an AOSSM member in good standing.
AOSSM gratefully acknowledges Smith & Nephew for the educational grant to support this activity.
