AURORA Study (national trauma research initiative)
A major multisite prospective research program enrolling trauma survivors at emergency departments to generate multimodal datasets (molecular, imaging, physiological, clinical) for biomarker and intervention development.
Better Tomorrow Network (research network for sexual assault survivors)
A not-for-profit, community-governed research network established to increase the quantity and quality of large-scale studies serving sexual assault survivors and to harmonize research across sites.
CRASH cohort studies (motor vehicle collision recovery cohorts)
Cohort studies performing genotypic and phenotypic characterization of recovery after minor motor vehicle collision to identify risk factors for chronic pain and psychological sequelae.
