In conjunction with the Big Ten Committee on Institutional Cooperation, the Big Ten and Ivy League have announced a collaborative effort to study head trauma among athletes. The joint research effort will bring together 20 institutions and nearly 18,000 student-athletes competing in more than 30 sports, providing an unprecedented body of data.

"The opportunity for collaborating on such a landmark series of studies with the Ivy League is unprecedented in sports medicine," said Dr. Dennis Molfese, Big Ten/CIC research collaboration director and the director of the University of Nebraska's Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior, in a press release. "Frankly, this is a unique moment in the history of science. There is no question that this research program will be greatly strengthened by bringing together in a genuine partnership the outstanding and cutting-edge scientists, athletic trainers and team physicians of both conferences to better understand and reduce as well as treat head injuries."
