We bring together university, community, and government partners around injury prevention and intervention programs with the greatest potential for impact. We promote and perform action-oriented research, training, and outreach to reduce injuries, violence, and their impact on people in Philadelphia and around the world.
Focus Areas
Our scholars study and practice across many focus areas to prevent injury on multiple levels: “stop it” from happening in the first place, “fix it” once it has happened, and “live on” by minimizing long-term impacts and risk of re-injury.
