CINCINNATI (AP) — The U.S Air Force has awarded an Ohio
school more than $1 million to study how air medical evacuation affects
patients, medical professionals and medical equipment.
The
University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center says the new funding
supports research projects led by members of UC’s Institute for Military
Medicine.
The institute is a collaboration of basic science and
clinical researchers, trauma surgeons and Air Force members based at the
University of Cincinnati Medical Center. It focuses on studying the
complex traumatic injuries of warfare.
The Air Force approved a
$24 million cooperative agreement in 2010 to fund UC research on the
unique environment of air medical evacuation. The new funding will allow
researchers to continue ongoing work and launch new projects.
