The International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS) is the first organization in the world devoted exclusively to the study of Near-Death Experiences (NDEs) and Near-Death-Like experiences. Founded in 1978, it has become the premier NDE resource for research, education and support.

Based on scientific and scholarly research roots, IANDS is the most trusted source for researchers, experiencers, professional care providers, clergy and seekers of greater meaning.
