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.
