Summary: Supports spine professionals in immersive, 5+ month research training and collaboration at a different institution to advance skills and contribute to the field.
The Research Traveling Fellowship from the North American Spine Society (NASS) offers spine professionals the opportunity to engage in hands-on research training and collaboration at a host facility other than their current institution. The fellowship is designed for individuals in any spine-related specialty, including both clinical and nonclinical researchers, and requires a commitment of at least five months at the host center. Fellows will participate in ongoing research projects, gain new skills, and foster cross-institutional learning. The program emphasizes mentorship, integration into the host research environment, and the expectation that fellows will document and share their experiences to benefit the broader NASS community.
