• Multi-Institutional Studies

    The Multi-Institutional Trials Committee is accepting proposals for new multi-center studies and soliciting participation for recently approved studies. Each study is headed by one Coordinating Center, which is primarily responsible for designing the protocol and data collection sheet. After appropriate input and revisions, the studies are posted on the AAST-MIT webpage and interested centers may participate.

    Each study is presented with its protocol and data collection sheet. Direct communication with the study PI or the Committee Chairperson is strongly encouraged before participation. The AAST-MIT is looking forward to your enthusiastic support and participation in these and future studies.
