Injury Prevention Research Centers

Injury Prevention Research Centers (IPRCs) are specialized organizations that study how and why injuries happen, aiming to find effective ways to prevent them. They conduct research, develop safety strategies, and collaborate with communities, healthcare providers, and policymakers. Their goal is to reduce injuries from accidents like falls, car crashes, violence, and other causes, ultimately saving lives and reducing healthcare costs. Funded primarily by the CDC, IPRCs focus on translating research into practical solutions to make environments safer for everyone across different settings, including homes, schools, and workplaces.
