Canberra Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation Limited

About

The Canberra Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation (CORE) is a small charitable foundation based in Phillip, ACT, dedicated to advancing orthopaedic care in the Canberra region. Its mission is to facilitate excellence in orthopaedics by financially supporting research and education that benefits patients with orthopaedic conditions. The foundation funds orthopaedic surgeons, trainees, and research initiatives primarily in the ACT, while also operating in NSW and VIC.

Giving Philosophy

CORE supports world-leading and future-focused orthopaedic care by funding education and research projects that aim to improve patient outcomes. The foundation values evidence-based care and seeks to share research findings with the global orthopaedic community. It prioritises funding for projects that demonstrate clear potential for advancing orthopaedic practices, including innovative technologies like 3D printing of orthopaedic prostheses.

Tips for Applicants

Applicants should focus on research and education proposals that directly benefit orthopaedic care in the ACT region. Given the foundation's focus on funding specific projects like 3D printing research with ANU and supporting publication fees, proposals should demonstrate clear innovation, potential for practical application in patient care, and alignment with advancing orthopaedic outcomes. Early contact with the foundation to discuss project suitability is recommended.
