Working Committees

Working Together. For Life.
More than 3,000 worldwide researchers participate on CIBMTR’s Working Committees, and more than 40 global experts serve as volunteer Committee Chairs. Together, these researchers answer clinically important questions using CIBMTR’s Outcomes Database.
Working Committees shape the observational research that leads to most of CIBMTR's publications. Through focused committees, volunteer members propose, design, and implement studies. Working Committee studies are guided by Chairs who are experts in the relevant field and by Scientific Directors who are experienced transplant physicians with MS degrees in biostatistics or related fields. Statisticians coordinate Working Committee activities and participate in individual studies, and Statistical Directors provide oversight. Investigators from around the world are currently participating in more than 100 Working Committee studies.
