Abstract

This report was intended to facilitate the Eighth Department of Defense (DoD) International State-of-the-Science Meeting (SoSM)on Blast Injury Research. The SoSM series was established in 2009under the authority of the DoD Executive Agent (EA) for Blast Injury Research. Its purpose has been to identify knowledge gaps in blast injury research; ensure that DoD medical research programs address existing gaps; foster collaboration between scientists, clinicians, and engineers in blast injuryrelated fields; promote information sharing on the latest research; and identify immediate, short-term, and long-term actions to prevent, mitigate, and treat blast injuries.
