This three year Injury Science REU Site program will engage students in fundamental research on the causes and consequences of injury in the young and translational research to apply this scientific foundation into evidence-based prevention products, programs, policy, and interventions. Training will draw upon the multi-disciplinary expertise of a NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Center and an internationally recognized research organization, the Center for Injury Research and Prevention, housed within two pre-eminent education and research organizations, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania. REU students will not only gain sound research experience but also will learn about other fields of study, the value of interdisciplinary work, and the practical application of research results to real world prevention methods. Trainees will be recruited individually and then grouped into working pairs that will conduct research with a faculty mentor. Formal workshops, meetings, and field trips will provide specific training and broaden their research experience while working in pairs, living together, and participating in informal social events will provide students with a sense of community and create a strong cohort experience. Students will learn how to present research and will receive formal training on ethics, technical writing, and proposal preparation. Students will have a unique opportunity to apply for a grant for student-initiated research that the trainee will continue at their home institution.This site will attract and train a cadre of talented young researchers to help to ensure the growth, innovation, and continuity of the field. The comprehensive training will prepare diverse, internationally-competitive, and globally-engaged leaders in science and engineering. Their research findings will inform interventions to reduce injuries and deaths in youth.

这个为期三年的伤害科学REU网站项目将让学生参与对年轻人伤害的原因和后果的基础研究和转化研究，将这一科学基础应用于基于证据的预防产品、项目、政策和干预措施。培训将利用美国国家科学基金会工业/大学合作研究中心和国际公认的研究机构伤害研究和预防中心的多学科专业知识，该研究机构隶属于两个卓越的教育和研究机构，费城儿童医院和宾夕法尼亚大学。REU的学生不仅可以获得良好的研究经验，还可以学习其他研究领域，跨学科工作的价值，以及将研究成果实际应用于现实世界的预防方法。受训者将被单独招募，然后分成工作小组，与教师导师一起进行研究。正式的研讨会、会议和实地考察将提供具体的培训，拓宽他们的研究经验，而结对工作、共同生活和参加非正式的社会活动将为学生提供一种社区意识，并创造一种强大的群体体验。学生将学习如何展示研究成果，并接受伦理、技术写作和提案准备方面的正式培训。学生将有一个独特的机会申请资助学生发起的研究，受训者将继续在他们的家乡机构。该网站将吸引和培养一批有才华的年轻研究人员，以帮助确保该领域的增长、创新和连续性。综合培训将为科学和工程领域培养多样化、具有国际竞争力和全球参与的领导者。他们的研究结果将为减少青少年受伤和死亡的干预措施提供信息。
