John M. Sabol, PhD, Chief Scientist for GE Healthcare’s Global Research Organization, noted, “The collaboration between GE Healthcare and the NBA has provided a unique opportunity to do high impact research. This call for proposals attracted dozens of high-quality submissions from leading tendinopathy researchers. Selection of the winning projects was a challenging task, relying on an independent scientific review panel of 22 academic and clinical experts to evaluate the scientific merit of the submitted research projects.”
Beyond the upcoming myotendinous injury call for proposals, future calls from the NBA/GE Healthcare Collaboration may address bone stress injuries, articular cartilage injury, and other important musculoskeletal issues affecting NBA players.
