The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio will be home to a new trauma care research center.

The University of Texas Board of Regents approved $2.5 million earlier this year for the Trauma Research and Combat Casualty Care Collaborative at UT Health San Antonio, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense.
