What Coalition for National Trauma Research does
Mission
To enhance trauma research in the U.S. by advocating for sustainable research funding commensurate with the burden of disease; coordinate research efforts across professional organizations that span the continuum of injury care; and strengthen the infrastructure for multicenter investigation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
National Trauma Research Repository (NTRR) - The purposes of this project are to prepare to fully integrate legacy data from the National Trauma Research Repository (NTRR) into the FITBIR IS, clean and harmonize studies against established and new trauma common data elements (CDEs), integrate legacy data of high quality that will support secondary analysis, and establish a systems process for new submission and use of legacy data. In 2024, CNTR researched and analyzed data elements within four environments of care, and created and ran concurrent Delphi surveys during which groups of subject matter experts arrived at consensus on which common data elements to include in the NTRR. CNTR worked with NIH-CIT to update website text and functionality and go live mid-year. We also finalized policies and procedures for submission of and access to data, and communicated with investigators to facilitate upload of legacy data into the system.

Following training of more than 1,000 nurses and nurse peer coaching, a real-time missed dose alert was put into place at all sites, and the patient education program was activated.…

IPRP is an FDA-approved blood component that has undergone treatment to reduce the risk of transfusion-transmitted infection. This is a three-year study, funded by the Defense Medical Research and Development Program. As the coordinating center for the multi-institutional study, CNTR is responsible for end-to-end study management across five clinical sites and two laboratories, involving all policy and procedure, training, and human subject protection activities. Following a protocol amendment to extend the enrollment window to 18 hours, CNTR activated study close-out due to low patient enrollment.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $589k to $1.0M (+77%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2019 99% · 2020 87% · 2021 77% · 2022 60% · 2023 74% · 2024 79%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
91% of COALITION FOR NATIONAL TRAUMA RESEARCH’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base broadened from 2 funders to 4 funders, grant income rose $15k → $73k.
1 of 6 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $35k from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest American Association for the Surgery of Trauma). These are real filings, and they are not money COALITION FOR NATIONAL TRAUMA RESEARCH raised.
From the IRS filings of COALITION FOR NATIONAL TRAUMA RESEARCH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
COALITION FOR NATIONAL TRAUMA RESEARCH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 81%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund COALITION FOR NATIONAL TRAUMA RESEARCH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 73% · 2022 43% · 2023 48% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
COALITION FOR NATIONAL TRAUMA RESEARCH draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $176 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
