OREF/ASES/Rockwood Clinical Research Grant in Shoulder Care

Dr. Michael Bahk, Dr. Matthew Ramsey and Dr. Gerald Williams were awarded the prestigious Orthopaedic and Research Education Fund (OREF)/American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Clinical Research Award/Charles A Rockwood Shoulder Grant for $45,000 in 2009 for their interest in studying "Incidence and Risk Factors for Venous Thromboembolic Disease following Upper Extremity Arthroplasty."

This clinical research grant is available to orthopedic surgeons in the field of shoulder care. PhDs and DVMs are eligible to apply if affiliated with an orthopaedic department and working with an orthopaedic surgeon who is the principal or co-principal investigator. This grant is available through a generous contribution from the family of Charles A. Rockwood Jr., MD through an endowment fund established by the family to support this program. Clinical relevance must be clearly noted in the abstract under specific aims, and be obvious from the title and the study design. A peer review committee, which will include representatives from OREF and ASES, will select the grant recipient. One grant of $50,000 for one year will be awarded for each project year.
