SECEC/ESSSE offers a 20.000 Euro research grant which is intended to promote and support basic and clinical research related to shoulder and elbow pathologies.

The primary purpose of this grant is to foster projects that provide useful information and/or develop and provide methodological tools for the benefit of our society. The obtained knowledge will be at free disposal for SECEC/ESSSE members. Methodological and epidemiological projects will be favoured.

Only ordinary, associate- or corresponding members are eligible for application. The application can be authored or co-authored by non-members provided that there is at least one SECEC/ESSSE member in the author's list.

The written application should include a description of the project, the involved persons and institutions as well as a financial and time plan. Only written applications in English are accepted.
The recipient of the grant will be asked to produce a progress report due to the Research & Development Committee one month prior to the SECEC/ESSSE or ICSS meeting. For oral and/or written publication acknowledgment using a SECEC/ESSSE logo or text is required.

The application form should be sent by e-mail to Sylvie Noel (Esta dirección de correo electrónico está siendo protegida contra los robots de spam. Necesita tener JavaScript habilitado para poder verlo.).
