Thanks to a generous endowment fund donated by Dr. Robin Richards, the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation established the Robin Richards Award for Upper Extremity Research to recognize the best upper extremity research submission at the Canadian Orthopaedic Association annual meeting.  All papers in upper extremity research accepted for the COA meeting are eligible, and are reviewed by a COF research review panel. No separate application process is needed.

This $1,000 award is to be used by the recipient in a manner that aligns with the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation’s mission – to achieve excellence in bone and joint health and mobility by advancing musculoskeletal research, education and care.

Recognition of this award is made at the COA Annual Meeting.
