The long-term goal of this award is to increase diversity and equitable access to spine research. To accomplish this objective, this award seeks to assist underrepresented people (see examples below) to attend the ORS/PSRS International Spine Research Symposium for the first time. Specifically, this award will provide financial assistance as well as personal mentoring opportunities for each awardee. To maximize impact, we are seeking applicants that have not attended the ORS/PSRS International Spine Research Symposium previously and likely would not be able to attend without this award.

Congratulations to this year’s recipients!
