J. Édouard Samson Award

The premier award for orthopaedic research in Canada, the J. Edouard Samson Award, recognizes the best career orthopaedic research over a period of five (5) years or more at a Canadian centre. This $30,000 award is intended to promote further research by the recipient. The recipient will present his/her research at the Annual General Meeting of the Canadian Orthopaedic Association (presentation opportunity to be determined). The award consists of an educational grant and a personal research grant to be used by the recipient at the Canadian institution where he/she currently resides.

Canadian Orthopaedic Research Legacy Grant

The CORL program was founded in 2006 to help ensure the legacy of Canada’s world-class status in orthopaedic research, thereby ensuring orthopaedic patients reap the reward of new techniques and treatments made possible through research grants from this program. The total number of awards each year will be variable, based on available funding. Individual CORL awards are in the amount of up to $20,000.

If you are a researcher, we invite you to submit your application. We also ask your assistance in ensuring orthopaedic researchers at your institution are made aware of these funding opportunities. Application forms and guidelines are available at www.whenithurtstomove.org: click on Research & Awards. The deadline for submitting applications is October 31, 2020. Decisions will be announced early in 2021.
