Smith, MD, PhD, Chair, Research Division, Director-at-Large November 1 Deadline: Call for Multicenter Trial Proposals for Sponsoring by EAST The Multicenter Trials Section of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) is sponsoring a Plenary Session, Introduction to the 2017 EAST Multicenter Trials Studies, on Thursday, January 12, 2017 (3:15 pm-4:15 pm) at the 30th EAST Annual Scientific Assembly in Hollywood, Florida. The Plenary Session will provide a forum for individuals interested in presenting their ideas for multicenter trials and recruiting partnering centers. Participants will have limited time to present their research question and design, and encourage audience members to sign up for more information or participate as a separate site in the Trial. There are currently 17 MCTs that are sponsored by EAST and details about their research questions, participating sites, and current status can be found at http://www. east.org/research/multicenter-trials. Completed EAST MCTs can be seen here. If you or a colleague has an idea for a MCT study that would benefit from exposure and assistance by EAST, view the materials for proposal submission on the EAST website. The only current requirement is submission of an EAST Multicenter Study Proposal. Complete an EAST Multicenter Study Proposal form by the deadline of November 1, 2016. Accepted studies will be invited to the MCT session by December 1, 2016. If you have any questions or need assistance, e-mail the EAST offices at rdixon@east.org or call 312-202-5616.
