NATA Foundation Announces Partnership with PFATS Foundation

This collaboration will support research and education initiatives that advance the athletic training profession. As part of this partnership, we will issue a specialized Request for Proposals (RFP) for a research grant focused on football safety. This initiative will fund impactful research aimed at improving athlete safety and best practices in the profession.

Additionally, the PFATS Foundation will join us as a sponsor for our ParTee for ATs fundraising event at the 76th NATA Clinical Symposia & AT Expo.

Partnerships like this expand our impact, fueling scholarships, research, and programs that drive positive change in athletic training. We look forward to working together to enhance health and safety, while elevating the role of athletic trainers in the sports medicine arena. Read the full announcement here.
