The San Diego Spine Foundation is a nonprofit organization in the hospitals and health care sector based in San Diego, California. Established in 2004 by Dr. Behrooz A. Akbarnia, it focuses on advancing spine care through funding research, education, and professional development, with a particular emphasis on supporting fellowship training for young orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons pursuing spine surgery. The foundation administers grants for both adult and pediatric spine studies and organizes educational events such as the San Diego City Wide Spine Meetings to disseminate current and emerging practices among local spine care providers.

A key objective is to improve global care for patients with spinal disorders and deformities by fostering collaboration and knowledge generation across research and clinical education. In recent developments, the foundation has formed partnerships with the University of California San Diego to create the San Diego Spine Collaborative Research Group, expanding its research network and opportunities for discovery in the field.
