The Fogarty International Collaborative Trauma and Injury Research Training Program (TRAUMA) awards grants to conduct research training on the diagnosis, prevention, and/or treatment related to injury and trauma in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
Research training can include programs such as those related to prevention, treatment at the scene, emergency medical facilities and services, diagnostic imaging, post-acute care, and long-term care including rehabilitation. Diagnostic procedures, especially low-cost techniques, could be evaluated. Training may include topics such as low-cost surrogate technologies for CT and MRI Scan, ventilators, optimal resuscitation fluids, blood substitutes, and materials to cover wounds in burn victims and integration of psychosocial services with other systems providing assistance to victims.
