The NSEW Grant (National Shoulder and Elbow Week Grant) is awarded to hosts organizing events during National Shoulder and Elbow Week. This grant supports initiatives that promote education, awareness, and engagement in shoulder and elbow care.
Funding helps cover event costs, materials, and outreach efforts, encouraging widespread participation from healthcare professionals, researchers, and the public. The goal is to enhance knowledge-sharing and advance the field of shoulder and elbow surgery through impactful local and national events.
50% of the net fundraising from each NSEW event becomes available for the hosts and members from their planning subcommittee, who have been active in planning or executing the event, to apply for a local grant to support their research, education, or event.
