Description
The EAST INVEST-C Research Hackathon is an annual program organized by the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) to accelerate research progress for early career trauma and acute care surgeons. The hackathon provides selected participants with structured mentorship, expert guidance on research design, opportunities for multicenter collaboration, statistical support, and editorial assistance. The goal is to help promising research ideas move from inception to publication and to foster professional growth and innovation in trauma surgery research. Participants work closely with established researchers and peers to refine their research proposals, culminating in a final presentation and a plan for moving the project forward.
