This grant, offered by the Department of Defense (DoD), funds clinical studies aimed at improving outcomes for severe musculoskeletal injuries common in military combat. The Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Clinical Consortium Award seeks to establish large, multi-site clinical trials to answer complex questions previously lacking sufficient funding and statistical power. This grant is for the purpose of combining the patient populations and combat expertise of military treatment facilities with the research capabilities of civilian orthopaedic trauma departments. Research will involve longitudinal evaluations of definitive care, including surgical reconstruction, rehabilitation, and return to optimal function. The expected results are a sustainable infrastructure for future clinical studies and the development of actionable products like information, guidelines, or validated techniques to enhance current clinical practice and improve the well-being of injured service members.

| Description: | The PRORP Clinical Consortium Award mechanism is being offered for the first time in FY09. The intent of the award is to fund clinical studies focused on improving the outcomes of severe musculoskeletal injuries commonly associated with military combat. The main objective of this Consortium Award is to address questions that have not previously been answered because funding was not available to establish large multi-site clinical trials with appropriate statistical power. The award is designed to combine the population of military orthopaedic trauma patients and the combat-relevant expertise of the specified military treatment facilities (MTFs) listed in Section B.2 with the patient populations and research expertise of highly qualified civilian orthopaedic trauma departments at outstanding institutions. Clinical outcomes will require longitudinal evaluations of definitive care which should include surgical reconstruction, clinical rehabilitation, and return to optimal function. The expected end results are an established infrastructure for continuing clinical studies on combat-relevant musculoskeletal injuries, and products (information, guidelines, validated techniques, or devices) that result in changes to, or validation of, current clinical practice that lead to better outcomes for our injured warriors. |
