Fellowship grant application period is now closed

"Well done" to all programs that made the effort to apply for a 2013-2014 academic year fellowship grant in all nine orthopaedic sub-specialties. Applications are being reviewed by the OMeGA board and review committee and will be notified in early March. A public announcement of grant recipients will be announced after all Grant Recipient Agreements have been signed and received.

Grants (up to $75,000) support clinical fellowships and may be used for salary, benefits and educational expenses. All applications are reviewed by sub-specialty experts against objective criteria including faculty expertise, ratio of fellows to faculty, educational resources and program emphasis on research, publications and presentations.

NOTE: Grants will not be offered to programs with outstanding milestone reports from previously received OMeGA grants. Please submit any overdue reports and/or receipts to be eligible to receive a grant.
