N1 - Funding Information:
Early last year, we charged a task force to evaluate our current research program and to make recommendations for improvement. One of our members led a task force that was charged with conducting a 10-year audit of basic science and clinical research grants, studied a large body of data and then presented a series of immediate actions designed to reconstruct the ASSH research enterprise. Those actions were to dramatically increase our financial support of research and to leverage a modest financial investment in the training of future scientists by partnering with the National Institutes of Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The plan, developed with National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases Director Jim Panagis, himself a hand surgeon, could train several talented young hand surgeon scientists over just a few years—an outcome that could lead to many years of research productivity.
