Research Methodology SIG
Mission Statement
The over-arching goal of RMSIG is to explore current,
state-of-the-art methodological approaches, foster communication among
researchers and between researchers and practitioners and provide
educational opportunities, especially aimed at new or junior
investigators. We welcome participants at all levels -- those wanting
basic information, experienced individuals looking for a new solution to
a thorny methods problem, and experts wanting to share and exchange
ideas. Together, we can improve the trauma research field.
