Research Committee
Research Committee
The ASAP Research Committee is comprised of internationally renowned experts in neurosurgery and related fields. These groups solicit research grants that are peer reviewed and must adhere to standards similar to that of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The scientific goal is to award grants to investigators who demonstrate exciting and innovative approaches to the treatment and/or contribute to our understanding of the etiology of syringomyelia and its related disorders. We hope to encourage innovative thinking from new investigators in this previously under-researched field.
We extend our gratitude to the doctors who volunteer their time to not only support the ASAP mission, but help lead advancements in the medical community that direct impact Chiari, syringomyelia patients.
