Overview

Mission

To promote research and education within the field of orthotics and prosthetics (o&p)

What it reported doing in 2023

American orthotic and prosthetic association leadership and the copl board of directors recognize the dire need for original evidence-based and outcomes research in o&p. Consequently, the copl pilot grant program is intended to fund original pilot studies that will support full-scale research projects and to encourage new knowledge generation from young investigators.
