Grand Alliance Concussion Conference: A New Era of Scientific Collaboration

Madison, WI US
April 24, 2019

Conference Description

The NCAA Sport Science Institute and U.S. Department of Defense, in partnership with the Big Ten Conference and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, are pleased to present the third annual Grand Alliance Concussion Conference: A New Era of Scientific Collaboration. The conference will build on the first two sport-related concussion conferences hosted in partnership with the Pac-12 Conference and the University of California-Los Angeles, and the Patriot League along with the U.S. Military Academy.  During the event, concussion experts and researchers will share preliminary and recently publicized information from the NCAA-DoD Grand Alliance, the largest concussion study and educational grand challenge ever conducted. Lectures will be didactic and demonstrative, and there will be ample time for panel discussions, and questions and answers.

Target Audience

This conference is intended for athletic trainers, team physicians, sports medicine clinicians and athletic health care administrators from NCAA member schools, and other key stakeholders who oversee and manage sport-related concussion and repetitive head impacts.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the knowledge gaps in concussion and repetitive head impact exposure.
  • Explain the rationale for developing the NCAA-DoD Grand Alliance, which includes the largest, prospective, longitudinal clinical and advanced research study ever conducted in the history of concussion.
  • Identify and understand emerging clinical and advanced research developments in sport-related concussion and repetitive head impact exposure.
  • Identify educational programs and research projects designed to change the culture of concussion safety.
  • Explain how science can transform policy and societal views on concussion and repetitive head impacts.

Elements of Competence

This activity has been designed to change learner competence and focuses on the American Board of Medical Specialties areas of patient care and procedural skills, and medical knowledge.  This activity also focuses on the interprofessional competencies of communication, roles and responsibilities, and teams/teamwork.
