2018 State of the Science Summit

Resource
The 2018 State of the Science Summit, held on September 12-13, 2018, explored the state of the science in diagnosis of trauma-related brain disorders.

About the Summit

The inaugural State of the Science Summit (SOSS) focused on Diagnosis of Trauma-Related Brain Disorders with a major focus on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Based on a prioritized list of foundation translational research gaps from the Brain Trauma Blueprint Executive Committee, the first summit explored the state of the science in diagnosis of trauma-related brain disorders. During the summit, thought-leaders will moderate sessions addressed the issues with defining these disorders by their symptom presentation and discuss the need to create a new taxonomy of disease for these conditions enabled by deeper understanding of the underlying biology of post-trauma sequelae and novel technological advances.

Attendees worked to build consensus around knowledge gaps and discussed strategies to move the field forward by leveraging the combined intellectual resources of the full community. The summit served as a launchpad for ongoing Working Groups to develop evidence-based strategies on how to fill those gaps, identify new gaps as others are filled, and disseminate these findings back to the community at large.
