The need to fund research to prevent illness, incidence, and injury in the aquatics field remains a top priority. In addition, it is troubling how little scholarly research is available in the scientific literature that demonstrates health benefits of aquatics to encourage more people to participate in aquatic activities.

Please make a charitable donation to NSPF^®, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation. One hundred percent of your donation will be earmarked to fund research grants.

Results from NSPF^® -sponsored research grants are being presented at conferences around the world and being published in scholarly journals. NSPF will continue to promote and disseminate research results at the annual World Aquatic Health™ Conference and the International Journal of Aquatic Research & Education (IJARE), which is quarterly journal that was launched in January, 2007.
