WHAT WE FUND
Research Opportunities
OSF Research
Investing Today in the Health of Tomorrow
Research drives progress. That’s why Osteo Science Foundation invests in scientific research on the most effective surgical techniques and clinical utilization of biomaterials and biologics. Through a variety of research grant opportunities, our aim is to create a strong foundation of preliminary evidence to foster scientific progress.
We promote forward-thinking, applied research in the area of hard and soft tissue regeneration with a focus on Oral and CranioMaxillofacial Surgery. The projects we fund represent the next generation of research in our specialty and are aligned with the mission of Osteo Science Foundation so that new developments and treatment concepts can be made available at the clinical level more quickly, backed by adequate evidence-based results.
Research and Grant Programs
The following grant opportunities are offered to distinct populations exclusively within the United States and Canada, including Residents and Fellows, Junior Faculty, and Clinical and Medical Researchers. The Foundation also sponsors grant awards that support both the clinical training of select professionals as well as the attendance of residents and faculty at important research and educational meetings. Osteo Science Foundation funds a diverse portfolio of scientific research in the United States and Canada through the following grant opportunities:
Research Achievements
Advancing the Promise Through Research
Research drives progress. That’s why Osteo Science Foundation is committed to supporting the next generation of scientists in their pursuit of high-quality research.
