Dr. Stephen Ferrara, acting assistant secretary of defense for health affairs, presents an award for outstanding research accomplishment for a team to Dr. Jason Sperry, section chief of trauma surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Division of Surgery, at the 2025 Military Health System Research Symposium in Kissimmee, Florida, on Aug. 4. Sperry represented the Linking Investigations in Trauma and Emergency Services Network team from the University of Pittsburgh. The team was honored in the research category “Blood and Blood Products: Novel Strategies for Treatment of Blood Failure.” The LITES Network completed two high-impact trials—CriSP-HS and CriSP-TBI—demonstrating the feasibility, efficacy, and safety of early, cold-stored platelet transfusion in patients with hemorrhagic shock and traumatic brain injury. These trials provided the first high-level evidence supporting early CSP use in injured patients. Also pictured are team members, Francis Guyette and Stephen Wisniewski.
