New Lerners Trauma Research Grant Available for TAC Members!

Application for Lerners Trauma Research Competition (Grant $5000.00)

TAC is excited to announce a new partnership with Lerners Lawyers in Ontario. Lerners LLP has agreed to provide an annual research grant of $5000 each year for the next five (5) years to be awarded to a new group of researchers each year in the form of an annual research competition.  This competition is open to Members and Affiliates of TAC only.

Learners LLP, one of Canada’s leading law practices, has been helping trauma patients for over 90 years, as part of the trauma recovery journey. Because Lerners Lawyers know that trauma research improves the care of the injured patient and their return to the community, they have made a historic commitment to furthering trauma research in Canada in the form of an annual grant of $5000.00 for the next five (5) years to be awarded to a TAC member or affiliate who submits an innovative trauma research proposal for consideration. Winner will be announced at the Trauma Association of Canada’s (TAC) annual scientific meeting and conference each year.

For the new annual $5000.00 research grant, TAC will solicit high quality research proposals from TAC members or affiliates. These proposals will be reviewed by an expert panel of seasoned trauma researchers and the winner announced at the annual scientific meeting and conference each year. The intent of the $5000.00 is to fund new Canadian trauma research.

Criteria for the competition are potential impact on the lives of trauma patients or their families/communities, scientific methodology and merit, creativity, multidisciplinary collaboration, and patient-centred approach. As well, proposals will be judged on how they capture the spirit of Lerners vision where “Every case is different. Every Client is unique. Every injury is personal” and the vision of TAC to “Improve the lives of all those affected by, or at risk of  traumatic injury.”

At least one person from the proposal MUST be a TAC member or affiliate and MUST be present at the meeting in Halifax on March 26-27, 2020 when the winner will be announced. Winners of Lerners Trauma Research Proposal Competition will be requested to present their work in the form of a podium presentation at the annual meeting of the Trauma Association of Canada the following year.

Those who are interested in submitting a proposal should prepare a one-page overview by the deadline of January 15, 2020, that includes the following information:

Title of project
