Starting a Movement in Health Research. In 1989, Research!America’s founders came together with the realization that there was a vast deficiency in medical research funding – and that such a gap would be detrimental to Americans for years to come. Through their mutual belief in the fundamental importance of medical research, these visionaries formed the Research!America alliance.
United States Bone and Joint Initiative
ORS is a founding member of the US Bone and Joint Initiative (USBJI), and maintains a seat on the USBJDI Board of Directors.
The Bone and Joint Initiative, is a global, multi-disciplinary initiative targeting the care of people with musculoskeletal conditions-bone and joint disorders. Its focus is on improving your qualify of life as well as advancing the understanding and treatment of those conditions through research, prevention and education.
