COMBAT Scholar Program

Center for COMBAT Research logo

The CU Anschutz Center for COMBAT Research focuses on solutions in point of injury and prolonged casualty care, critical injury and illness, and brain health. 

The COMBAT Scholar Program is a longitudinal mentorship program that guides student investigators through the process of asking military-relevant research questions, designing studies to answer these questions, and presenting and publishing their findings. The program considers research a pivotal component of clinical practice excellence, emphasizing U.S. military partnership and research impacting the warfighter and combat medic.

The program seeks highly motivated, productive, and focused innovators aiming to change medical practice through scholarship and research to improve the lives of our nation’s warriors and translates to civilian practice.
