NTI Seeks Trauma Studies for

$2.8 Million in Research Grants

In its second national request for proposals, the National Trauma

Institute seeks to fund rigorous clinical studies, especially those that

address hemorrhage, intensive care, trauma systems or pre-hospital care.

Half of the available $2.8 million in funding is designated specifically

for studies related to non-compressible hemorrhage. Bleeding from

extremity wounds stops with applied pressure, and tourniquets and

advanced bandages have significantly reduced combat deaths, but 15

percent of battle injuries in the Iraq and Afghanistan theaters are to

the torso, where applying pressure is not an option. We must develop

simple, field-expedient techniques for non-surgeons to use in emergency

situations.

Other priorities include effective resuscitation strategies, new

treatments for shock, better understanding of the coagulapathy of

trauma, the elimination of hospital acquired infections, airway and

ventilation management strategies for the injured, and topics related to

battlefield and pre-hospital care and communication.

Pre-proposals must be submitted by July 23, 2010 and may outline

clinical or translational research involving either single or multiple

centers. For complete submission guidelines, visit the NTI website

NTI Launches National Campaign to Stop the Bleeding

In our first major effort to secure private and corporate dollars for

trauma research, NTI launched " Stop the Bleeding, " an awareness and

giving campaign focused on research related to hemorrhage, which is a

factor in nearly half of all trauma-related deaths in the United States.

The campaign directly links research to the ability for first-responders

and doctors to stop trauma victims from bleeding and to save their

lives.

Our hope is that this campaign will energize individuals and companies

to help us fund translational studies with the potential for actionable

results in a short amount of time.

You may also schedule NTI Executive Director Sharon to make a

presentation to your audience about the impact of trauma in American

society and the need for research funding.

Stop the Bleeding

Logohttp://ih.constantcontact.com/fs086/1102620959939/img/6.jpg>

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.
