Funding - American Joint Replacement Research-Collaborative (AJRR-C)

Funding

The American Joint Replacement Research-Collaborative (AJRR-C) is funded by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) as a Core Center for Clinical Research focused exclusively on total joint replacement research. Grants include:

Core Center for Clinical Research in Total Joint Arthroplasty (CORE-TJA) (P30 AR76312)
Daniel J. Berry, M.D., principal investigator

Enhance Arthroplasty Research Through Electronic Health Records and NLP-Enabled Informatics (R01 AR73147)
Hilal Maradit Kremers, M.D., principal investigator

Risk of Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in Total Joint Arthroplasty (R01 AG60920)
Hilal Maradit Kremers, M.D., principal investigator

Cardiotoxicity in Total Joint Arthroplasty (R01 HL147155)
Hilal Maradit Kremers, M.D., principal investigator

Pilot projects & fellowships

Developing the next generation of orthopedics investigators is crucial to continue improving total joint replacement care.

The AJRR-C provides pilot grants and fellowship opportunities of up to $40,000 a year to support pilot projects focused on total joint replacement.

The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) offers a one-year AJRR Registry Research Fellowship program, which is jointly funded by the AAOS and the AJRR-C.

Contact the AJRR-C for more information about the pilot grants and AJRR fellowships.

Research funding opportunities for orthopaedic research

More funding opportunities for orthopedics and joint replacement researchers include:

  • American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).
    The AAOS Registry Analytics Institute (RAI) provides funding and data analysis resources to support approved RAI studies.
  • American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons (AAHKS).
    The Foundation for Arthroplasty Research and Education (FARE) facilitates the AAHKS mission to advance patient care through leadership in education. FARE provides research funding of up to $50,000 to eligible applicants for studies performed in North America.
  • Department of Defense Peer-Reviewed Orthopaedic Research Program.
    The Department of Defense provides research funding for observational and interventional orthopedic studies.
  • The Hip Society.
    The Hip Society provides research funding of up to $25,000 a year to members. Funding beyond one year is subject to further approvals. Multicenter proposals that are likely to be high-impact work are favorably considered.
  • The Knee Society.
    The Knee Society provides research funding to eligible society members.
  • National Institutes of Health (NIH).
    The NIH funds research through grants and contracts.
  • Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (OREF).
    OREF provides career development and research grants ranging from $50,000 to $300,000. Recipients are selected through a peer review process modeled after the NIH's scientific review process.
  • Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI).
    PCORI funds comparative effectiveness research and projects that promote patient engagement in research. PCORI also supports research on dissemination and implementation, methodology, healthcare delivery, and health and healthcare disparities. Funding also supports the development of research infrastructure, including PCORnet.
