Dr. Jeff Milroy, Managing Director at The Institute to Promote Athlete Health and Wellness at UNC Greensboro and Director of Programs at Prevention Strategies, is leading a research team that was recently awarded a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I grant from the NINR (National Institute of Nursing Research) for the proposal “APC: A Collaborative Approach to Reduce Time Between Concussion Symptom Onset and Treatment.”
The goal of the program is to translate empirical evidence into a behavioral intervention targeting Athletes, Parents, and Coaches (APC) to decrease the time between concussion injury, onset of symptoms, and medical treatment among youth sport athletes.
