Millimeter and mid-infrared observations have been made of the brightest compact SCUBA 850-micron sources in the MSX infrared-dark clouds (IRDCs) G28.34+0.06, G11.11-0.12, and G79.3+0.3. In two of these sources, Gemini and IRTF observations indicate the presence of nearby massive stars. High-resolution BIMA observations indicate that these stars are interacting with the adjacent molecular gas, possibly triggering the collapse of the compact SCUBA sources.
