Dr. Patricia “Trish” Kelshaw is an Assistant Professor and director of the Brain Research Assessment Initiative of New Hampshire (BRAIN) Laboratory at the University of New Hampshire. She completed her doctoral education and research training at George Mason University. In 2018, she was awarded a fellowship with the Concussion Research Program through Harvard Medical School. Her research endeavors encompass mild traumatic brain injuries among diverse athletes. Her scholarship has included several domains of concussion inquiry including biomechanics, prevention, assessments, recognition, recovery, and policy. Her scholarly pursuits comprise representing the under-represented in concussion research, including varied socio-demographic backgrounds, inclusion of language diversity, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. She has received unrestricted grant funding from the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment and USA Lacrosse, and is contracted through the Virginia Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to consult for the Virginia Concussion Initiative. In addition to her research background, Trish has worked with concussed pediatric athletes as the head athletic trainer for a large metropolitan youth football league and currently teaches and mentors undergraduate and graduate students.
