Moreover, our primary objective remains the acquisition of deeper insights into the challenges individuals encounter with these conditions, thereby enabling the development of innovative resources to provide effective assistance.

Below are our current opportunities available. Please click the links to learn more, or alternatively, let us know if you have any questions by emailing memberservices@nafc.org.

 

Take the UTI survey!

Blue and orange text invites adults 18+ who have had a UTI to share their experience in a survey. Speech bubbles illustrate conversation, and an orange button says Take the survey..

NAFC wants to better understand your experience with Urinary Tract Infections. Please consider taking part in this survey to help us learn your understanding of different terms related to UTIs, your experience with treatment, and complications you may have had related to UTIs. Your feedback will help us develop more education and tools to help you manage, treat and prevent UTIs in the future.
