Welcome to The Center for Medical Transport Research - We're glad you chose to visit us today.

The critical care transport community faces increasing pressures to operate safely in competitive and cost-conscious healthcare markets while providing excellence in patient care. A core belief driving the development of The Center for Medical Transport Research is that global connections formed to analyze the effectiveness, efficiency and equity in critical care transport systems can impact the quality and safety of patient care across various payer systems and diverse public policy environments. The Center will serve as a secure and neutral platform for scientific collaboration with resources for data management and research project development.

One major goal of The Center is to become completely self-sufficient through grants and research funding. Our core strategy, and key to success, is to provide a trusted and value based research repository funded through industry and partner stakeholder support.

To date, The Center has been subsidized through donations from the following supporters -

The Center has also been awarded Grant Funding from the following:
