Review Process
Applications are reviewed and ranked by the Research Committee on a competitive basis using a blinded NIH-style process. Any committee member or reviewer, including the Board liaisons, with any real or perceived conflict of interest with respect to a grant application is recused from deliberations and scoring of the application.
Grant recipients will be announced on March 10, 2018, at AOFAS Specialty Day. Email notification of application status will be sent shortly after the announcement.
