Osseointegration Foundation Research Grant Application

Each year the Osseointegration Foundation makes available 10 grants of up to $10,000 for subsidizing the care of eligible patients. Each grant will be issued upon completion of those portions of the case “when the intended function result is completed,” but prior to the required three-year follow-up. This grant does not restrict how or where these funds are to be allocated by the service provider, as long as the entire grant is spent directly on patient care and treatment in the domain of osseointegration. Under no circumstances will the patient receiving care through this grant program be charged for any services rendered.

Both care providers and corporate partners may participate in this program for public relation purposes. Additionally, participants in the grant program, including care providers and corporate partners, will receive narrative recognition at all opportunities (i.e. at official Academy meetings), and visual recognition in several forums, including: Academy News; the Academy Bulletin Board in the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants; and the
Osseointegration Foundation Report.

The awards will be determined annually and recipients will be notified in January.
