Stryker | ORS Women's Research Fellowship

The Stryker | ORS Women's Research Fellowship offers support of up to $60,000 to promote women in science. This is an opportunity for an ORS member who identifies as a woman or as gender non-conforming (non-binary, gender fluid, etc.). The award winner should be a recent PhD recipient (within the last four years) in science or engineering, a full time post-doctoral fellow, and should be conducting translational orthopaedic research with an experienced research advisor. Translational research is defined as research with a clearly articulated vision of how it can lead to improved musculoskeletal health of individuals. The Fellowship will be offered for one year with an award amount up to $60,000 per year for direct costs. Indirect costs are not allowed. The fellowship is not intended to provide a full-time salary, but up to 25% is acceptable. For postdoctoral fellows, costs associated with tuition and fees are allowable only if they are required for specific courses in support of the research training. At the time of Fellowship, individuals are required to pursue their research training on a full-time basis, normally defined as 40 hours per week. Recipients are expected to interact with Stryker personnel including on‐site meetings and at least two presentations on research progress. Recipients will also submit an ORS abstract to present a poster at the annual meeting and, if selected, a podium presentation as well. Two awards are allowed per person per lifetime.
