Research Saves Lives
Our core purpose is to advance research that saves lives and reduces disability by focusing on these key initiatives:
- Coordinating research efforts across disciplines that span the continuum of injury care
- Strengthening the infrastructure for multi-center investigation
- Advocating for sustainable research funding commensurate with the burden of disease
