Subject: Funding for Military and Civilian Partnership for the Trauma Readiness Grant
Program
Dear Chairwoman Murray and Ranking Member Blunt:
On behalf of the American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) and the Congress of
Neurological Surgeons (CNS), we write to request $11.5 million in funding for the Military and Civilian
Partnership for the Trauma Readiness Grant Program in the Fiscal Year 2022 Senate Labor, Health &
Human Services, Education and Related Agencies Appropriations legislation. Authorized in the
Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act (P.L.116-22), this critical
grant program will allow us to enhance trauma training for our military health care personnel while
simultaneously bolstering civilian trauma care and saving lives.
