and Innovation Grant Program
Program Overview
AAHKS has established the Fellowship Education Improvement and Innovation Program to award grant money to Adult Reconstruction Fellowship Programs, based on a grant received from Founding Industry Partner Zimmer Biomet.
The grant program will incentivize the fellowship programs to address targeted areas of improvement, including but not limited to:
- patient optimization
- high risk/at risk patients
- diverse patient populations
- site of care impact
- registry-based research
- advanced technologies in joint arthroplasty
The grant program is intended to be flexible and inclusive. The long-term goal is to standardize curriculum, improve training and financially support adult reconstruction fellowship training nationally.
Developed with a grant from our Founding Industry Partner
Application Requirements
