In this webinar, co-sponsored by SAEM's Global Emergency Medicine Academy (GEMA) Humanitarian Task Force, the panel highlights the critical role of research and evidence generation from local teams in conflict-affected and neglected crisis settings. These voices can often be lost or come second to international researchers, who may face fewer barriers to obtaining funding or publishing their work in higher-tier peer-reviewed journals. With speakers from Tigray regions of Ethiopia, Sudan, and South Sudan, we explore how frontline clinician-researchers conduct research while also caring for conflict casualties in under-resourced and strained health systems. Our moderators frame this discussion within a broader conversation regarding factors that lead such research from neglected conflict settings to be underrepresented, and several initiatives to support local teams in conflict, such as the Explosive Weapons Trauma Care Collective (EXTRACCT)'s Casualty Data Initiative.
