CSRS funds and supports research that is rigorous, unbiased, and data-driven. New techniques, technologies, and innovative studies are carefully evaluated and held to the highest standard that prioritizes patient outcomes over novelty.
The mission of the Cervical Spine Research Society is to promote research and the exchange of knowledge related to the cervical spine. Supporting high-impact research projects is central to that mission. Since 1990, CSRS has awarded more than $5 million in research funding to advance the understanding and treatment of cervical spine conditions.
Members are not afraid to challenge each other—not to criticize, but to strengthen the work and advance the field.

The CSRS Registry was designed around that question and built to generate the kind of real-world evidence that changes how surgeons counsel and care for patients.
Annual grant funding for member-led research that advances the standard of cervical spine care.
