The Major Extremity Trauma and Rehabilitation Research Consortium
Abstract
The Major Extremity Trauma and Rehabilitation Consortium (METRC) consists of a network of clinical centers and one data-coordinating center that work together with the DoD to conduct multi-center clinical research studies. The goal of the consortium is to produce the evidence needed to establish treatment guidelines for the optimal care of the wounded warrior and ultimately improve the clinical, functional and quality of life outcomes of both service members and civilians who sustain high energy trauma to the extremities. Funding for METRC has helped us to develop and sustain the data-coordinating center, establish the network of sites conducting METRC research studies, facilitate ongoing training for studies and support study specific research requirements.
