Concussions are a significant health concern and there is growing research in the field. Unfortunately, researchers who are in different disciplines and working on concussion-related research are often unaware of the current state-of-knowledge in the other disciplines. This workshop will aim to facilitate discussions about the current state of the knowledge with respect to the sources, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of concussions and to provide an opportunity for the establishment of new working teams that can make significant advances. Outcomes of this workshop will include pathways for understanding the relationship between the specific impact event and resulting degree of injury, design of effective protective equipment from such injuries, and technology to integrate health-monitoring devices into the equipment. The workshop will facilitate cross-disciplinary research that is expected to significantly improve the prevention and diagnosis of concussions, thus making sports safer for athletes and combat safer for soldiers. The workshop will also help the development a roadmap for future research and policy in concussion prevention and diagnosis.The cross-disciplinary concussion prevention and diagnosis workshop will bring together a diverse audience with a collective wealth of knowledge in order to facilitate discussions about the current state of the knowledge with respect to the sources, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of concussions; identify research gaps; determine future research paths that will provide solutions to the concussion epidemic; generate a report that will assist funding agencies in defining research initiatives; provide opportunities for new working teams; and disseminate knowledge across disciplines through panel sessions. The workshop will include cross-disciplinary panel sessions and small-group discussion sessions. The four panel sessions will interrogate the approaches used for four different population segments, youth sports, females in high school and collegiate sports, professional sports, and the military. Within each session, the goal will be to identify the cross-disciplinary research gaps and determine the future research paths. The topics will cross between dynamics, biomechanics, sensors, bioengineering, materials, medicine, and imaging.

脑震荡是一个重要的健康问题，在该领域的研究越来越多。 不幸的是，从事不同学科和脑震荡相关研究的研究人员往往不知道其他学科的当前知识水平。该研讨会旨在促进关于脑震荡的来源，预防，诊断和治疗方面的知识现状的讨论，并为建立新的工作团队提供机会，从而取得重大进展。 该讲习班的成果将包括了解具体撞击事件与造成的伤害程度之间关系的途径、设计有效的保护设备以防止此类伤害，以及将健康监测装置纳入设备的技术。 该研讨会将促进跨学科研究，预计将大大改善脑震荡的预防和诊断，从而使运动员更安全，士兵更安全。 研讨会还将帮助制定未来脑震荡预防和诊断研究和政策的路线图。跨学科脑震荡预防和诊断研讨会将汇集不同的观众与集体丰富的知识，以促进讨论关于脑震荡的来源，预防，诊断和治疗的知识现状;确定研究差距;确定未来的研究路径，为脑震荡流行病提供解决方案;生成一份报告，帮助资助机构确定研究计划;为新的工作团队提供机会;并通过小组会议传播跨学科的知识。 研讨会将包括跨学科小组会议和小组讨论会。 四个小组会议将询问用于四个不同人口群体的方法，青年体育，高中和大学体育中的女性，职业体育和军队。 在每一次会议中，目标将是确定跨学科研究的差距，并确定未来的研究路径。 主题将跨越动力学，生物力学，传感器，生物工程，材料，医学和成像。
