SCRR's Shock and Emergency Preservation and Resuscitation (EPR) continued studying uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock (UHS) in rats, under US Navy support since spring of 1996. We honored the first year of our proposal and completed several other studies. After publication of our sixth dog study on EPR (Capone et al.), Drs. Safar and Tisherman helped the Department of Defense in attempts to obtain funding for a five-year multicenter study. We prepared a major grant application for five years' work with our dog models, which was submitted in autumn 1996 (Dr. Safar, PI; Dr. Tisherman, Co-PI). Funding for the first two years, by the US Navy, began in autumn 1997.
