Community Rugby Injury Surveillance & Prevention (Crisp) Project.

 

The CRISP Project is managed by a team at the University of Bath and is funded by the RFU as part of RugbySafe research with the purpose of improving the understanding of injuries across

the community game and informing injury prevention strategies. The research is particularly important over the coming seasons to allow us to monitor any changes in injury patterns across

the community game following the lowering of the tackle height and other law changes. A large sample of injury data is crucial in allowing us to understand any changes in injury patterns. Having

a range of clubs and teams providing the data is key to the success of CRISP.

 

We would like to request your help in identifying and recruiting teams for  CRISP. If every CB can help us identify a small number from across the playing populations, it

will help reach our sample targets. This also allow us to ensure we are working with clubs/teams from across the country and from a diverse range of leagues and playing levels.

As well as the contribution this makes to CRISP all clubs/teams taking part can request a bespoke report produced by the University of Bath setting out their injury profile across the season.
