National Trauma Institute

The National Trauma Institute is governed by a 19-member Board of Directors comprising leaders in the trauma field and representatives of the major national trauma organizations.

The Board's Science Committee is responsible for the development of the national research agenda, issuance and communication of Requests for Proposals to a national audience, consideration of proposals, and recommendation of contracts and funds to be awarded. This committee will create Study Sections to provide expertise in the appropriate clinical research areas consistent with the national research agenda.

This year, 170,000 Americans will die from a traumatic injury. Trauma is the #1 cause of death for children and adults ages 1 to 44.

Hemorrhage, or massive bleeding, is responsible for
nearly half of those deaths and for the majority of preventable deaths of our soldiers in Iraq
and Afghanistan.

Several medical solutions have the potential to control massive bleeding, but without adequate funding for further development and clinical trials, life-saving treatments are elusive dreams.

Help Fund Hemorrhage Research Today, and Stop the Bleeding.
