E.R.H. reports research funding from the PCORI and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. E.R.H. and L.L. are unpaid board members of the NBCA.
Funding Information:
Representatives from funding agencies, including the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the National Institutes of Health/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, the PCORI, and the US Army Institute of Surgical Research, delivered a panel session titled “Extramural Funding Opportunities and Priorities.” Avery Nathens spoke about research opportunities to leverage the existing infrastructure of the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program to perform studies (whether prospective cohort, randomized trials, or retrospective observational) and build additional data elements such as structural, process, or outcomes data points into Trauma Quality Improvement Program for individual trauma centers to contribute additional data to answer these questions.

N2 - On May 4 and 5, 2022, a meeting of multidisciplinary stakeholders in the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after trauma was convened by the Coalition for National Trauma Research, funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health, and hosted by the American College of Surgeons in Chicago, Illinois. This consensus conference gathered more than 40 in-person and 80 virtual attendees, including trauma surgeons, other physicians, thrombosis experts, nurses, pharmacists, researchers, and patient advocates. The objectives of the meeting were twofold: (1) to review and summarize the present state of the scientific evidence regarding VTE prevention strategies in injured patients and (2) to develop consensus on future priorities in VTE prevention implementation and research gaps. To achieve these objectives, the first part of the conference consisted of talks from physician leaders, researchers, clinical champions, and patient advocates to summarize the current state of knowledge of VTE pathogenesis and prevention in patients with major injury. Video recordings of all talks and accompanying slides are freely available on the conference website (https://www.nattrauma.org/research/research-policies-templates-guidelines/vte-conference/). Following this curriculum, the second part of the conference consisted of a series of small-group breakout sessions on topics potentially requiring future study. Through this process, research priorities were identified, and plans of action to develop and undertake future studies were defined. The 2022 Consensus Conference to Implement Optimal VTE Prophylaxis in Trauma answered the National Trauma Research Action Plan call to define a course for future research into preventing thromboembolism after trauma. A multidisciplinary group of clinical champions, physicians, scientists, and patients delineated clear objectives for future investigation to address important, persistent key knowledge gaps. The series of papers from the conference outlines the consensus based on the current literature and a roadmap for research to answer these unanswered questions.
