Genesis of the Foundation

Critical for the Profession
In 1991, NATA established the Research and Education Foundation.

The Foundation was established to support scientific study and research and to promote high professional standards for athletic trainers through continuing education and scholarships.

The Foundation is the largest national source of research and Scholarship Funding for the athletic training profession.

As so often is the case, Athletic Trainers make a great team!   Quick thinking on-the-field has meant so much to athletes across the spectrum.
