Outreach

Putting Research into Action

The Penn Injury Science Center’s Outreach Core puts research into action through Community-Academic Partnerships, Translation, and Dissemination

Community-Academic Partnerships

Partner with community members, organizations, and practitioners to design and execute equity-centered and actionable research

Community Action Board

The Community Action Board (CAB) is comprised of community residents, and other key stakeholders, with a focus on those who predominantly serve Philadelphia. The CAB provides input on PISC research, training, and outreach activities; generates links to community-based organizations and resources to develop, conduct, and improve injury science; and assists in dissemination of actionable injury science results that can be implemented to reduce the burden of injury within Philadelphia communities and beyond.

Community Outreach Incubator

Community Outreach Incubators are a spin-off of the Incubator to engage academics and community-based organizations in the design, testing, and implementation of interventions to prevent injuries and violence. The approach – which invites CAB members to present, collaborate with a development team, and apply for pilot funding – is built to accelerate the identification, contextualization, and closure of gaps between injury science and stakeholder needs.

Partnership Matchmaking

Through the Community Action Board, Community Outreach Incubators, Center events, and partner programs like the Penn Community Scholars Program and REACH Initiative, we help connect academic and community partners for more impactful research and programming.

Translation

Translate research into policy and practice by engaging with healthcare systems and providers, local and regional government and policy leaders, non-profit organizations, and businesses and providing technical assistance

Technical Assistance

Healthcare systems and providers, local and regional government and policy leaders, non-profit organizations, and businesses can learn from and partner with leaders in injury science and prevention. Anything from workshops to consultations, asynchronous learning materials, and more – we can help you put the latest evidence into policy and practice.

Community Violence Intervention Hub

Street-based outreach, hospital-based violence intervention, safe walking routes to school, and a network of community, academic, health system, and government partners – the Community Violence Intervention Hub is at the center of Penn’s violence reduction and prevention efforts, through a connected and coordinated team of academic and community experts.

Stakeholder Convening

The Penn Injury Science Center creates venues and events that bring together community, academic, government, and industry partners to collaborate on progress towards injury prevention priorities.

Dissemination

Design accessible, innovative, and high-impact tools and products that reach diverse audiences to reduce the burden of injury and violence among the populations most affected

Dissemination Catalog

In collaboration with the Community Action Board, we are developing a catalog of dissemination products that provide our scholars and partners with options for materials and products that reach diverse audiences and match our mission of equity-centered, actionable research and education.

Monthly Newsletter

Bringing the latest news, publications, events, and opportunities related to injury and violence prevention straight to your inbox every month. There is no better way to keep in touch with the work and offerings of the Center.
