The Trauma Committee is committed to ensuring equal access to TNCC in California. This is accomplished through mentoring and awarding of outreach grants. The purpose of the grant is to bring the course to underserved areas, whether it is rural or simply an area that lacks Instructors. It is also to support areas that wish to become self-sufficient and deliver their own courses. Grants requests can be submitted by e-mail and must include a letter outlining the need and a copy of the course budget.
