It takes more than a ‘village’ to do high quality research to improve outcomes following injury. The support that CNTR provides to investigators allows for a collaboration between all stakeholders, including patients and their caregivers, that maximizes the ability to conduct meaningful research and reach conclusions that will both save lives and improve the quality of those lives.
