The RMS Foundation supports collaborative, applied research at the intersection of medical technology and materials science, with a strong emphasis on biomaterials, implants, bone regeneration, surface characterization, and tribology. Its model is distinctive: rather than making broad philanthropic grants, it appears to fund and actively participate in targeted research collaborations, often pairing financial support with in-kind expertise, testing, and researcher involvement. The foundation also shows a clear commitment to scientific community building through awards, fellowships, conferences, and knowledge-transfer activities in the biomaterials ecosystem.
Biannual, proposal-based support for joint research projects; likely selective and collaboration-driven, with RMS contributing both funding and technical expertise rather than offering open, general-purpose grants.

Prepare a short research abstract for the February or August deadline and frame the project as a true collaboration with clear experimental relevance to medical or materials technology. Strong proposals should emphasize biomaterials/implant applications, surface or tribology testing needs, and how RMS researchers can contribute directly through testing, consulting, or lab support.
