When serious injuries happen, fast and coordinated care can save lives. On August 19, 2026, ASPR released a NOFO for the new Trauma Care Readiness and Coordination Program cooperative agreement. Through this program, ASPR will help states, tribal organizations, and trauma centers strengthen coordination between hospitals, emergency medical services, and public health agencies. The program will test scalable models that improve trauma system readiness and patient access to the right level of care, while also improving the Nation’s response readiness for both everyday emergencies and large-scale disasters.
Applications must be submitted by September 18, 2026, via Grants.gov. ASPR will issue awards by the end of September 2026.
