Your gift is an investment in the future of the specialty, and in the patients who benefit from it every day. It helps train the next generation of pain medicine leaders, fund the research that changes practice, and keep ASRA Pain Medicine positioned to serve its members and improve patient outcomes for decades to come.

Research Funds
Your support of ASRA Pain Medicine funds $190,000 in research grants and educational advancement each year. Your tax-deductible donation helps drive innovation, improve patient care, and support our collective vision to reduce the global burden of pain.
Our research pillar is accomplished in large part by funding four grants that support high-quality research in regional anesthesia and acute and chronic pain: the Carl Koller Memorial Research Grant, the Chronic Pain Research Grant, the Early-Stage Investigator Award, and the Graduate Student Award.
If you are able, we encourage you to consider making a donation to one or more ASRA Pain Medicine research funds:
- Carl Koller Memorial Research Grant Fund
- Chronic Pain Research Grant Fund
- Early-Stage Investigator & Graduate Student Fund
ASRA Pain Medicine is a 501(c)3, and, as such, your donation may be tax-deductible. Learn more about tax-effective charitable giving from our friends at Modera Wealth Management.
