National Trauma Research Institute
Founded in July 2004, the National Trauma Research Institute is located within the Alfred Medical Research and Education Precinct as part of The Alfred Hospital. The Institute's primary goal is to support and develop research programs that improve survival and quality of life for people who have suffered trauma injuries. The Institute's research program is a multidisciplinary integrated model that allows for trauma research to be conducted across a continuum of laboratory, clinical, rehabilitation and data/trend monitoring
Victorian Neurotrauma Initiative
The VNI was established by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC: $60M) in partnership with the Victorian Government's Department of Innovation, Industry and Regional Development. The VNI supports research into Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) and Peripheral Nerve Injury (PNI) conducted by Victorian scientists in collaboration with their national and international colleagues. The objectives of the VNI are to reduce the impact of neurotrauma and improve the quality of life of those affected; to expand the scope of innovative neurotrauma research through multidisciplinary, national and internationally-linked collaboration; and to focus on Victorian, Australian and international research and attention on the consequences of neurotrauma.
