Implementation of a National Trauma Research Action Plan (NTRAP)

Summary Abstract Traumatic injury is a significant public health problem and the leading cause of death under age 44 in the United States. Federal investment in research funding is needed to address this issue and minimize death and disability. This report seeks to lay out a strategy for the development and implementation of a National Trauma Research Action Plan as described in the 2016 report by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) entitled, Integrating Military and Civilian Trauma Systems to Achieve Zero Preventable Deaths after Injury. The authors have no Conflict of Interest to declare relevant to this work. While there was no direct funding for this manuscript, the April 2017 stakeholder conference discussed was supported by a grant from the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration and the Department of Defense. © 2018 Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Inc.
