Clinical Trials Planning Grant

Awards History

Clinical trials are relatively uncommon in pediatric orthopaedics. There are many challenges involved with conducting a trial to definitively answer clinical questions of importance. Significant planning is necessary to bring investigators together to design such a trial and finalize the protocol.

POSNA is pleased to announce a new Clinical Trial Planning Grant award to provide seed funding to develop a high-quality proposal for a clinical trial in any area relevant to POSNA. The award is expected to produce a competitive multi-investigator/center grant proposal for submission to larger agencies/funders of research.
