The 2026 Hip Society Research Grant Cycle will open March 9, 2026.

We are soliciting proposals from three categories. 

Member Submitted Proposals: Submit original research proposals to the Research Committee (chaired by William M. Mihalko, MD PhD) in consideration for study funding and/or endorsement by The Hip Society. 

Non-member Young Investigators: who apply with a co-PI Hip Society member who will be a consultant on the study. 

New RFP from AJRR: Along with our normal grant cycle, we are also requesting applications from randomized prospective trials comparing cemented versus press fit femoral stems for femoral neck fractures.
