| University of South Florida | organization | Orlando, FL | $146,657 | The title of this grant is "Injuries and Concussions Among Children, Ages 5-11, Playing Sports in Recreational Leagues in Florida". The grant intends to clarify the injury frequency and severity in recreational sports and develop insight and guidance for future targeted injury prevention strategies and potential changes to return to play guidelines for young athletes. | view |
| Virginia Tech Office of Sponsored Programs | organization | Blacksburg, VA | $136,027 | The title of this grant is "Research initiatives to inform the Development of a Youth Football Helmet Standard". The proposed research aims to inform the develoment of a youth football helmet standard by quantifying the biomechanics of concussion in youth football players, matching on-field impact velocities with resulting head accelerations, and relating on-field measures to the proposed pneumatic ram test method. | view |
| Board of Regents of University of Wisconsin | organization | Madison, WI | $108,289 | This grant is entitled "The Effectiveness of Soccer Headgear to Reduce Concussion in Adolescents". The study is an evaluation of efficacy of soft headgear used in soccer to protect against concussions. | view |
| University of Ottawa | organization | Ottawa, Ontario | $100,170 | 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. | view |
| Hospital for Special Surgery | organization | New York, NY | $100,000 | The grant is entitled "A 2-year Prospective Injury Epidemiological Analysis of Rugby Sevens in North America". The study intends to develop data on Rugby Sevens, a developing sport in the USA for which little is known about associated injury epidemiology. | view |
