The "Nestlé Health Science Osteoarthritis Grant" is intended to honor an active European researcher or team who contributes significantly to the treatment of osteoarthritis.

It was established by the Osteoarthritis Foundation, a private foundation created in July 2015, with the aim of promoting basic research in the field of osteoarthritis.

The criteria used for awarding the Grant are the quality of the research, and its applicability to the clinical field. This Grant aims at rewarding research work performed in the field of preclinical to clinical interventions with natural compounds (nutrition, plant-based, etc). Its objective is also to promote the Osteoarthritis Foundation’s activities in Europe.
