He is the Principal Investigator for the LITES network, a multicenter trauma network to execute clinical trials for the Department of Defense. He is also the Principal investigator for the PAMPer trial and STAAMP trials funded by the Prehospital Use of Plasma in Traumatic Hemorrhage (PUPTH) program and the Tranexamic Acid Clinical Research (TACR) program, under the direction of the Department of The ARMY. He is the Principal Investigator for the PPOWER trial, funded by the NHLBI to characterize whole blood resuscitation following injury. Dr. Sperry’s research success is best exemplified by his publication track record including over 225 peer-reviewed articles in top clinical journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Annals of Surgery, JAMA Surgery, JAMA Network Open and JCI Insight. He has been funded by the National Institute of Health and/or Department of Defense consistently since 2010 with the overall intent to improve the care of the injured patient.
