EAST news | 2018 Issue 1 8 EAST Research-Scholarship Committee Coming soon! Letters of Intent (LOIs) will open in early April in consideration for the 2019 John M. Templeton, Jr., MD Injury Prevention Research Scholarship and Trauma Research Scholarship. The LOI submission deadline for both scholarships will be July 13, 2018. The vision of the John M. Templeton, Jr., MD Injury Prevention Research Scholarship is to help support a young investigator perform an interventional trial in the field of injury prevention. All LOI’s submitted in consideration of the Trauma Research Scholarship are judged on the basis of the merit of an applicant’s research proposal, the potential of the applicant in future contributions to the science and practice of the surgery of trauma, and the applicant’s mentor support and dedication of the research proposal. Additional information regarding the 2019 scholarships can be found here. Read the testimonial from past scholarship recipient Dr. Michael W. Cripps to see how EAST Division of Research Scholarships make a difference to the study of the practice of surgery of trauma patients.
