North American Spine Society: Young Investigator Grant

The North American Spine Society's Young Investigator Grant aims to support early career researchers in spine-related studies. With a budget range of $20,000 to $50,000 per year, this grant encourages innovative research that enhances spine care. Eligible candidates must have completed their doctoral training within the last five years. Since 1989, NASS has funded over $4.6 million in spine research, fostering advancements in the field through education, advocacy, and collaboration.

Since 1989, NASS has funded more than $4.6 million in multidisciplinary spine-related research. NASS relies on the generosity of its membership, nonmember donors and the spine industry to provide funding for its research funds in support of the highest quality, peerreviewed research. One way NASS achieves these goals is by funding grants and fellowships.
NASS greatly values the development of Young Investigators (YI) and Early Career Professionals and thus, may award funding to promising YIs to encourage and promote quality spine-related research in one of the research priorities identified above. YIs must have completed their doctoral program and be either enrolled in post-doctoral training or within five years of completion of doctoral program training at the time of application. Applicants may not have received previous grant funding from the NASS Research Funding Committee. It is recommended that approved grant budgets range between $20,000-$40,000 per year. In rare cases and at the discretion of the committee, each year may be up to $ 50,000 per year.
