Description: The research proposal should be in the field of basic science (including biomechanical science). At least one investigator must be a current ISSLS member. The research proposal will be judged on significance, quality of the hypothesis, experimental protocol and feasibility. Projects that intend to use the ISSLS funding to lead to other larger funding sources are encouraged but must have a strong plan for further funding. The winning proposal will receive a US$20,000.00 award. The principal investigator must be 45 years of age or younger. The research funds cannot be used as a salary for any of the investigators. The recipient will provide a written progress report to the Research Grant Committee, four weeks prior to the following year’s Annual Meeting and make a presentation during the Fellowship Ceremony of that Annual Meeting.
The announcement of the 2025 winner will be made at the ISSLS Annual Meeting in Atlanta, USA, May 12-16 2025, during the Fellowship Ceremony. At the same Fellowship Meeting, the winner of the 2024 Research Grant will make their presentation.
The winner of the 2025 award is required to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting. Exceptions to this condition will only be considered in very extraordinary circumstances.
