Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation/Zachary B. Friedenberg, MD Clinician Scientist Grant
The objective of this grant is to encourage young surgeons to pursue a career as a clinician scientist, with a special emphasis on continued research activity. The grant will be made to an orthopaedic surgeon to allow the recipient to spend 40% or more of his or her time (two workdays each week) in research for a period of up to three years. Thanks to generous support from the Zachary Friedenberg Endowment Fund, one grant of up to $100,000 per year for up to three years, conditional upon annual review, will be considered. This will provide a stipend to compensate for the projected loss of income that would result from devoting less time to clinical practice and more time to research, but no funds for the costs of the research itself. In return, the recipient is required to serve as a role model for orthopaedic residents, interns and medical students in the practice and science of musculoskeletal surgery, organize and participate in conferences, and work with students, interns and residents in the operating room.
