WHO WE ARE
American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) Foundation is the separate philanthropic arm of the AANA that advances the nurse anesthesia profession by supporting education and research. The Foundation supports Certified Registered Nurse Anesthesiologists (CRNAs) and Resident Registered Nurse Anesthetists (RRNAs) at every stage of their careers by investing in research, scholarships, grants, and professional programs that inform practice and strengthen the future of anesthesia care.
Join us in protecting the future of the nurse anesthesiology profession through education and research.
AANA Foundation’s programs are made possible through the generous support of individuals, corporate and business partners, philanthropic foundations and associations, nurse anesthesiology state associations, and community supporters nationwide.
CRNA Research & Education is Essential to the Nurse Anesthesiology Profession
