Research Funds
We are one of the most significant funders of orthopaedic and MSK research in the UK. We also partner with leading academic institutions, healthcare organisations, societies, charities and private companies to directly fund the most innovative MSK research projects.
One fellowship sponsored by The National Joint Registry (NJR) and Orthopaedic Research UK (ORUK) is available with the successful candidate to be appointed in 2025.
We are proud to work in partnership with The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) to support advancements in Orthopaedics through this unique research fellowship.
The October 2024 Product Development Award call 29 of the NIHR Invention for Innovation (i4i) programme aims to transform Musculoskeletal (MSK) health outcomes by applying emerging technologies.
Named in honour of our charity’s founder, this fund supports entrepreneurs to accelerate innovative and commercially viable ideas to solve the unmet needs of society around bone, joint and muscle wellbeing. The programme provides an investment of up to £100K in startups, in exchange for equity.
The Early Career Research Fellowship is designed to support the brightest and best clinical/nonclinical talents interested in advancing MSK research in the UK.
Orthopaedic Research UK (ORUK), the British Orthopaedic Trainees Association (BOTA) and the British Orthopaedic Medical Students Association (BOMSA) are offering up to £1,500 research funding for medical students and foundation year doctors.
The programme is designed to accelerate the development of musculoskeletal innovation and thereby create and scale early-stage MSK ventures across the UK.
