Research Engagement for Better Understanding in Limb-Decision Making (REBUILD) is a program at the Missouri Orthopaedic Institute (MOI) focused on engaging patients and caregivers with lived experience of limb-threatening injury to identify research priorities and co-develop patient-centered research on limb preservation decisions.

REBUILD Advisory Team Objectives

The REBUILD Patient Advisory Team brings together trauma patients and caregivers to partner and achieve the following objectives:

  • Identify and prioritize patient-centered research questions related to limb salvage and amputation decisions.
  • Provide experiential insight to inform research design, outcomes, recruitment, and implementation.
  • Participate in structured learning and collaboration to strengthen patient-centered comparative effectiveness research.

This program was partially funded through a Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) Eugene Washington PCORI Engagement Award (EACB-48453).
