This Request for Proposals is now closed. The submission deadline has passed.

The National Trauma Institute is currently accepting proposals for clinical or translational research in trauma. Single and multicenter proposals with an emphasis on prospective studies will be considered. The following research areas will be given priority:

1. HEMORRHAGE:
    Devices for identification of patients with non-compressible hemorrhage
    Methods for control of non-compressible hemorrhage
    Resuscitation in patients with hemorrhagic shock
    Management of major hemorrhage from pelvic fractures
    Effective management of intra-cranial bleeding in the presence of coagulopathy
    Hemostatic devices for hemorrhage control

2. INTENSIVE CARE:
    Timing of tracheostomy in patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation
    Prevention of thromboembolic occurrences and complications
    Decreasing infectious complications in the ICU
    Ventilation strategies and techniques
    Metabolic adjuvant therapy
    Computer-driven protocols and monitoring devices in ICU resuscitation

3. TRAUMA SYSTEMS AND PREHOSPITAL CARE:
    Airway control
    Exploring and defining the ideal trauma system design
    Transport protocols for critically injured patients

Successful single center studies may receive $100,000 to $300,000. Additional funding may be available for multi-center clinical studies. Pilot and proof-of-concept projects with smaller budgetary needs will also be considered. A three-page pre-proposal/letter of intent must be submitted, and submission of full proposals will be by invitation only.  

The deadline for submission of pre-proposals for NTI-NCH-TRA-10 has passed.
