The Eleanor A. Slanga Resident Research Award was established to recognize excellence in research in the discipline of Orthopaedics. The award is open to all current Orthopaedic residents in programs associated with the Philadelphia Orthopaedic Society. Original abstracts not published prior to April 1, 2025 will be accepted for review.

The resident must be the first author, but not necessarily the only author of the paper. It is expected that the submitting resident will have primary responsibility for the literature review, implementation of the study and final drafting of the discussion section.

The award and stipend ($500.00) will be conferred at the Annual Resident Bowl on Monday, May 12, 2025.

Abstracts must be received no later than April 1, 2025 to allow adequate time for review. Any abstracts received after April 1, 2025 will be ineligible for consideration.

Abstracts should be submitted to:

Teri Wiseley, CMM, Executive Director via email to admin@phillyortho.org

Two copies should be submitted.

One copy should have all institution and author information redacted.
