ORS New Investigator Recognition Awards

The ORS New Investigator Recognition Awards (NIRA) is a prestigious recognition program for early-career researchers in orthopaedic research. A group of finalists are selected to present both a podium presentation and poster session at the ORS Annual Meeting. The final award recipients are selected based upon the quality of the presentation and material. This award is designed to recognize excellence in research among new investigators who have completed their residency or PhD within the past 5 years. Finalists present their work at the annual meeting and are interviewed by the NIRA committee. The award provides recognition and visibility for emerging researchers in the orthopaedic field, with winners being announced and honored at the ORS Annual Meeting.
