Orthopaedic educational grants to fellowship and residency programs - with independence and transparency. |
2019-2020 fellowship grant application period is open
OMeGA is accepting fellowship applications from US fellowship programs for the 2019-2020 academic year through Tuesday, December 4, 2018, 5pm CST.
Grants (up to $75,000) support clinical orthopaedic fellowship programs and may be used for a fellow's salary and benefits. If salary and benefit support is not possible programs can request preapproval of other direct educational expenses during the application process. Applications are scored individually and ranked in comparison to other subspecialty applicants. Awards are determined by available funding each academic year, which varies by subspecialty.
