IUCRC Planning Grant for UW to Affiliate with CHOP/CCHiPS

将举行计划会议，以确定华盛顿大学是否成为现有的儿童伤害研究和预防产学研合作研究中心（CChIPS）的研究地点。该中心致力于儿童伤害预防的各个方面。华盛顿大学的加入将以其目前在以下领域的研究能力为基础；1)儿童损伤生物力学、机制及耐受性；2)产品设计；3)与安全技术相关的人类互动和行为；4)安全教育与推广；5)专注于伤害预防行为研究/改造项目。华盛顿大学的加入将通过与行业成员的参与对参与的学生和教师产生广泛的影响。所有人都将从一个多大学中心可能的更大的互动中显著受益。

A planning meeting will be held to determine if the University of Washington is to become a research site to the existing Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Child Injury Research and Prevention (CChIPS). The Center is dedicated to all aspects of childhood injury prevention. The addition of the University of Washington will build on its current research capabilities in the areas of; 1) childhood injury biomechanics, mechanisms and tolerance; 2) product design; 3) human interaction with and behavior related to safety technology; 4) safety education and promotion; and 5) focused injury prevention behavioral research/modification programs.The addition of the University of Washington will have a broad impact on the participating students and faculty through involvement with the industrial members. All will significantly benefit from the greater interaction possible in a multi-university center.
