NASS Funded Research


Overview

NASS strives to be a leading force in promoting and supporting spine research. Since its inception in 1989, NASS has funded over $5.1 million in multidisciplinary research. NASS relies on the generosity of its donors to provide funding in support of the highest quality, peer-reviewed research, while still retaining full control of research award selection. Specific individuals or corporations do not have influence over the selection of recipients.

NASS supports basic, clinical and translational science, in addition to nontraditional, nonsurgical treatment. The goal is to improve quality spine care for patients and understanding of underlying disorders through funding by means of research grants and traveling fellowships.

Types of Funding

Funding amount and number of awards given are at the discretion of the NASS Research Funding Committee based upon merit of applications and amount of funding available each year. See descriptions of each category for recommended budget amounts.
