One of the main objectives of the Canadian Orthopaedic Association is to support and promote research amongst its members. To help standardize, focus and improve the quality of surveys distributed while encouraging completion by its members, the COA Standards Committee will oversee all survey requests and control distribution of surveys to members.

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. Click here for more information.
The Community Innovation Award celebrates community-based surgeons and research studies dedicated to improving patient care or musculoskeletal health in their community. There are many Canadian orthopaedic surgeons interested in research working in the community. These community surgeons are not academics, do not have a research history, and do not have research staff, but may have an academic appointment to teach on an occasional basis. When a surgeon does not have an academic appointment or a research history, it can be difficult for these surgeons to obtain funding for their innovative research ideas. This program fills a gap in the research landscape in Canada, encouraging community orthopaedic researchers to bring their research ideas to fruition. The total number of awards each year will be variable, based on available funding.

Thanks to a generous endowment fund donated by Dr. Robin Richards, the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation established the Robin Richards Award for Upper Extremity Research to recognize the best upper extremity research submission at the Canadian Orthopaedic Association annual meeting. All papers in upper extremity research accepted for the COA meeting are eligible, and are reviewed by a COF research review panel. No separate application process is needed.
This $1,000 award is to be used by the recipient in a manner that aligns with the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation’s mission – to achieve excellence in bone and joint health and mobility by advancing musculoskeletal research, education and care.

The Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation is committed to advancing bone and joint health through funding research – the cornerstone on which we were established. Every year, we receive a wide array of applications for research grants that explore different aspects of orthopaedic science, from diagnostic techniques to new surgical procedures. Applications are judged by an expert panel according to scientific merit and ultimate clinical benefit to patients.
