Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies (CChIPS)

这是一项更新CChIPS中心的提案，该中心是由费城儿童医院(CHOP)主办的I/UCRC，宾夕法尼亚大学作为其大学合作伙伴，由大学政策委员会监督。已经进行并将在更新期间继续进行的研究项目的范围分为以下几类：-损伤生物力学、机制和耐受性。-技术解决方案--设计、开发和测试。-人类与安全技术的互动和与之相关的行为。-教育和推广安全。-安全装置或行为矫正计划的评估和成本效益这项提案寻求对由费城儿童医院领导的儿童伤害预防研究I/UCRC第二阶段(第二个五年)的支持。该中心成立于2005年，作为儿童/儿童权利中心的第一个五年即将结束，重点是预防儿童和青年在交通事故中受伤。传播了许多优秀的研究成果，包括研究成果、教育材料、计算模型和知识产权。中心教职员工，特别是中心主任，非常有资格在这一领域进行研究。未来五年的计划研究是将目前的工作扩展到目前正在进行的40多个项目中最近确定的领域，以及扩展到与运动损伤有关的研究。新的主题包括运动损伤的预防、脑震荡的预防和治疗以及损伤治疗的康复和手术设备。CCHIPS作为推动者，进行和传播与行业相关的、科学上复杂的研究。作为唯一一个产学合作研究儿童伤害预防科学和工程的全国性平台，CChIPS在解决汽车行业面临的有关这一人群安全交通未来的关键问题方面具有独特的地位。CCHIPS的成果通过技术会议、知识产权以及适合公众的网站的开发和支持来传播。研究团队是性别多样化和包容性强的。一些部门的公司的参与清楚地表明了这项工作的广泛相关性和重大影响。

This is a proposal to renew the CChIPS center, an I/UCRC hosted by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) with the University of Pennsylvania serving as its university partner, overseen by a University Policy Committee. The scope of the research projects that have been undertaken and will continue during the renewal fall into the following categories:-Injury biomechanics, mechanisms, and tolerance. -Technological solutions - design, development and testing. -Human interaction with and behavior related to safety technology. -Education and promotion of safety. -Evaluation and cost effectiveness of safety devices or behavior modification programs This proposal seeks support for phase two (the second five years) of the I/UCRC for Child Injury Prevention Studies (CChIPS), led by The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The center was established in 2005 and is completing the first five years as an I/UCRC with a focus on the prevention of injuries to children and youth in traffic accidents. Numerous outstanding research products have been disseminated, including findings, educational materials, computational models and intellectual property. The center faculty and particularly the Center Director are exceptionally well-qualified to perform research in this field. The planned research for the next five years represents expansion of the current work into areas recently identified in the 40 plus projects conducted up to this point, as well as extension into research related to sports injury. The new theme encompasses sports injury prevention, concussion prevention and treatment and rehabilitative and surgical devices for injury treatment.CChIPS serves as the facilitator, to conduct and disseminate industry-relevant, scientifically complex research. As the only national platform for cooperative industry-university research on child injury prevention science and engineering, CChIPS is uniquely positioned to address critical issues facing the automotive industry regarding the future of safe transport of this population. Results from CChIPS are disseminated through technical meetings, intellectual property, and through development and support of web sites suitable for the general public. The research team is gender diverse and inclusive. The participation by companies in a number of sectors clearly demonstrates the broad relevance and significant impact of the work.
