JOR Awards

JOR Excellence in Basic, Clinical, and Translational Science Awards

This award celebrates seminal work published in JOR in the Basic, Clinical, and Translational Science categories. A grant of $1000 is presented to each award at the ORS Annual Meeting, selected by the Editors from eligible papers accepted by the Journal of Orthopaedic Research in the prior calendar year.

Eligibility Criteria:

  • Paper published in the Journal of Orthopaedic Research in the prior calendar year
  • Lead author of the paper must be a member of the Orthopaedic Research Society in good standing
  • Lead author or co-author must be a registered attendee of ORS Annual Meeting and present for the Award Ceremony
  • Candidate may be the first or last author on the submitted paper. The work must clearly be that of the applicant and not that of any co-author.
