Dear Chairwoman DeLauro and Ranking Members Granger and Cole:
As you prepare to conference the final Fiscal Year 2023 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations bill with the Senate, we respectfully urge you to retain the funding level of $10 million for the Military and Civilian Partnership for the Trauma
Readiness Grant Program.
This program was established by the Military Injury Surgical Systems Integrated Operationally Nationwide to Achieve ZERO Preventable Deaths Act or “MISSION ZERO Act”, which was authorized by the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2019. These grants provide funding to ensure trauma care readiness by integrating military trauma care providers into civilian trauma centers. By funding this critical program at $10 million, we will improve the nation’s response to public health and medical emergencies.
