Injury Control Research Centers: The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) is seeking applications from qualified organizations for Injury Control Research Center (ICRC) grants. These centers will conduct high quality research and help translate scientific discoveries into practice for the prevention and control of fatal and nonfatal injuries and violence that support NCIPC’s priorities and mission.ICRCs are expected to blend Outreach, Training and Education, and Research activities into a program to reduce the number, risk, and public health impact of injury and violence in the U.S. The over-arching goals for the NCIPC ICRC program are to:Build the scientific base for the prevention and control of fatal and nonfatal injuries and violence.Integrate, in the context of a national program, professionals from a wide spectrum of disciplines of epidemiology, behavioral and social sciences, medicine, biostatistics, public health, health economics, law, criminal justice, and engineering to perform research and provided technical expertise in order to prevent and control injuries and/or violence more effectively.Encourage investigators to propose research that involves intervention development or translation of effective programs among individuals, organizations, or communities.Provide technical assistance to injury and/or violence prevention and control programs in their geographic region, including other researchers; universities; medical institutions; community groups; state and local government agencies, public health agencies; and policy makers.Act as sources of injury and/or violence prevention and control information for their constituents and stakeholders at the local, state, tribal, national, and global levels.ICRCs are expected to have a high caliber of scientific and technical competency, be forward looking, be innovative, provide regional leadership, and collaborate with stakeholders and community partners (including state and local health agencies and non-profit, community and non-governmental organizations) in the development and delivery of relevant interventions to improve the prevention and control of injuries and/or violence. Center structure should take advantage of diverse scientific resources and focus on local, regional, and national issues. Center functions should include developing holistic approaches that link prevention, intervention, translation, outreach, education, and evaluation. The implementation of innovative, evidence-based solutions that address important injury and/or violence prevention and control problems in a collaborative manner is expected.
