University of Ottawa
					980654654	501 (c)(3)	$114,748	The title of this grant is "Establishing Test Parameters for Youth American Football Helmets Informed by Injury Surveillance". The results of this research will provide NOCSAE with data from biomechanical analysis of youth head impacts in American football to inform the development of a youth football helmet standard. All head impact events in youth football will be documented and reconstructed for concussive and non-concussive impacts to establish youth specific risk curves for peak linear to develop an impact protocol, as well as establishing certification criteria that reflect the risk of concussive events in youth.	550 Cumberland Ave	Ottawa	Ontario	CA

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b	The 990 is submitted to the executive committee for review. This committee consists of the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and executive director.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c	Conflict of interest within the scope of the role of the organization would relate to equipment design, grant funding, or enforcement of license fee payments. Consequently, the potential for conflict is quite narrow, and easily monitored when those issues come up for discussion. Additionally, the organization requires that all grant applicants disclose any potential conflicts of interest in the grant approval process. This is the area which presents the greatest chance of signficant conflict of interest. This is also the area which is most easily monitored, since the company can solicit conflict input from both the applicant and from the board.
Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19	They are provided when requested.
