OREF Total Joint Replacement Research Grant in Memory of Jorge O. Galante, MD

Funding Agency:
Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation
  • OREF encourages investigator-initiated research proposals focused on total joint replacement. Areas of research focus may include: New surgical techniques, devices, joint implant designs, joint implant materials, or the biology of disease and repair.
  • OREF strongly encourages the submission of well-crafted basic, translational and clinical studies.
  • Clinical relevance must be clearly noted in the abstract and specific aims and be obvious from the title and the study design. All proposed projects should generate results that have a practical application. It is expected that upon completion of the proposed project, the principal investigator will be well poised to pursue NIH/DOD or the equivalent large-scale funding to continue to advance the area of research.
