Grants for hand research
The American Society for Surgery of the Hand provides grants-in-aid not to exceed $3,000 per year for investigations concerned with the improvement and function of the defonned or disabled hand.
This money will be used in the fonn of "seed grants" to develop pilot or demonstration projects to the point where they might attract more substantial money from larger granting agencies.
