Hypothesis: By surveying existing trauma research committees, a recommended organizational strategy and membership framework can be developed for the new trauma research committee. Design: Level 1 Trauma Centers across the United States were asked how their trauma research committees are organized. The data was presented to the new committee and a model for committee operation was suggested. Results: Using the model along with input from the trauma research committee’s leadership, a Standard Operating Policy was developed. Members were asked to review the policy and agree to follow its policies and participate in trauma research.
