Putting the “R” back into “IBRA”!

Under the leadership of Adrian Spiegel, IBRA Research Director, and in close collaboration with the IBRA Board of Directors and the Research & Education Committees, IBRA is launching two new research grant programs to further strengthen its scientific profile.

The IBRA Institute Grant and the IBRA REC Grants support clinically relevant, high‑quality research projects across the fields of Upper Limb, Lower Limb and Craniomaxillofacial surgery. While the Institute Grant focuses on application‑oriented research conducted at the IBRA Institute, the REC Grants support committee‑defined research projects addressing predefined topics of high clinical relevance.

IBRA members are invited to submit research proposals and actively contribute to advancing evidence‑based practice within the IBRA community. Find out more on the Research page.
