An Indiana University-led coalition of industry, workforce, clinical, government and research partners is now part of a major U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) initiative that will build a regional innovation ecosystem in Indiana focused on the care and treatment of musculoskeletal health conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis, and acute and interventional needs like bone fractures and traumatic injuries. The REDS program supported the team’s proposal.
