AGA and ON Foundation support applicants towards their registration and individual travel expenses of EUR 500 for attending the 43rd AGA Congress September 17 to 19, 2026 in Innsbruck. Young AGA Members with a strong interest in orthoregeneration and an according track record are encouraged to apply.

Deadline for application: July 31, 2026

Applicants will be notified of acceptance on August 21st, 2026 (please register independently for the Meeting).

Condition: Grantees must attend the 2026 congress and are requested to provide a contribution to the ON Foundation Glossary or report from the congress on social media.

AI Based Application Success Predictor

1. Strong focus on orthoregeneration and musculoskeletal tissue repair (highest predictor)

This is the most important factor.

ON Foundation grants are specifically intended for projects involving:

Orthopedic tissue regeneration
Cartilage repair
Bone regeneration
Tendon healing
Ligament repair
Muscle regeneration
Sports medicine regeneration
Orthobiologics
Tissue engineering
Regenerative medicine for musculoskeletal disorders

Projects outside orthopedic regeneration are generally less competitive.

2. Innovation and ability to answer an important open question (very high predictor)

The Foundation repeatedly states that funded projects should:

Test innovative approaches
Address important unanswered questions
Explore novel regenerative therapies
Advance the field of orthoregeneration

Innovation potential is one of the formal review criteria used by ON Foundation review panels.

3. Strong clinical relevance and patient impact (very high predictor)

A recurring theme across ON grants is clinical applicability.

Competitive projects typically demonstrate potential to:

Improve healing
Reduce pain
Restore function
Shorten recovery time
Improve quality of life
Improve orthopedic treatment outcomes

The Foundation emphasizes translational research capable of influencing future clinical practice.

4. Clear hypothesis and rigorous research plan

ON Foundation review criteria explicitly evaluate:

Sound hypothesis
Clear objectives
Appropriate methodology
Research protocol quality
Ability of the design to answer the research question

Projects with well-developed experimental designs are substantially more competitive.

5. Translational and regenerative medicine orientation

Successful projects often bridge:

Basic science
Preclinical studies
Clinical research
Sports medicine
Orthobiologics

The Foundation frequently supports translational strategies that move regenerative concepts toward clinical implementation.

6. Early-career investigator development

Several ON programs specifically target young investigators.

Examples include:

Kick-Starter Grants
Education Grants
ON/ORS Orthoregeneration Award

Reviewers often favor applicants who demonstrate strong potential to become future leaders in orthoregeneration research.

7. Publication potential and generation of new evidence

ON Foundation repeatedly emphasizes:

Evidence generation
Peer-reviewed publication
Identification of knowledge gaps
New concepts and proof-of-concept studies

Projects expected to produce publishable findings are particularly attractive.

8. Strong interdisciplinary collaboration

Many successful orthoregeneration projects integrate expertise from:

Orthopaedic surgery
Sports medicine
Tissue engineering
Biomaterials
Cell biology
Regenerative medicine
Rehabilitation sciences

Collaborative teams often have an advantage when tackling complex regeneration problems.

Specialties

Orthopedics
