Trauma TEAMS Scholarship 2026: Applications Now Open

The Trauma TEAMS Scholarship is now open for the 2026 cohort.

Built in collaboration between NQS, ATS, TCAA, and STN, the program is designed to support Trauma Program Managers (TPMs) at every stage of their careers—removing barriers to education, leadership development, and program improvement.

What is Trauma TEAMS?

A scholarship program that helps trauma leaders:

  • Build leadership and operational skills
  • Strengthen trauma program performance
  • Access education, mentorship, and a national network

Two Paths Based on Experience

Emerging Trauma Leaders (≤3 years experience)

  • Foundational TPM training
  • Intro to trauma finance & operations
  • Core performance improvement concepts

Experienced Trauma Leaders (>3 years experience)

  • Advanced leadership and communication training
  • Deep dives into finance, mental health, and system optimization
  • Scenario-based mastery across key TPM domains

All recipients receive:

  • Free courses
  • 1-year ATS & STN memberships
  • Mentorship and networking opportunities
  • Certificates of completion

Not Sure Where You Stand?

Start with a quick self-check.

Take the Trauma Program Leadership Skills Assessment to map your current skills, identify gaps, and get recommended courses to enhance your leadership skills before applying.

A quick self-assessment can surface gaps across key areas like PI, registry, triage, and education—before they become issues during verification.

Who Should Apply?

TPMs (or equivalent roles) who:

  • Are new to the role or experienced leaders looking to grow (two tailored tracks available)
  • Want to strengthen their leadership and program impact
  • Are committed to improving trauma care and outcomes
  • Need support for professional development

If you're looking to sharpen your leadership skills, expand your network, and make a greater impact on your trauma program—this is your opportunity.

The 2026 Trauma TEAMS cohort is now open.
