Get up to $30,000 in funds to support your translational basic science or clinical musculoskeletal research project in 2025. Become a Bethel Fellow and apply today to the BMRC/ORS Fellowship, now open for applications. The BMRC aims to support the next generation of researchers, leading to breakthrough treatments for musculoskeletal disease. Two levels of support are currently available — $20,000 awards for postdoctoral scholars or medical residents and $30,000 awards for junior faculty.

Program Details
The BMRC Postdoctoral/Resident Fellowship award is for one year and in the amount of $20,000. The BMRC Junior Faculty Fellowship award is for one year and in the amount of $30,000. All recipients must be active members of the Orthopaedic Research Society. Funding is to support generation of preliminary data for subsequent larger grant applications. Allowable expenses include salary (up to 20% total of award), research supplies, animals, equipment, professional travel or publication fees. No indirect costs are permitted.

All 2025 BMRC fellows will be required to attend and present their work at the BMRC Research Symposium in Pittsburgh, PA in September 2026. Travel to the BMRC Research Symposium is not included with this award and should be included in the proposal budget if necessary.
