I/UCRC Phase III: Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies

对儿童伤害预防研究中心的第三阶段支持建立在一个坚实的基础上，在五年后，在广泛的工业基础和感兴趣的政府机构的支持下，将过渡到可持续性。该产学研合作研究中心是国内唯一一个致力于儿童、青少年和青少年汽车伤害及伤害预防研究的产学研合作研究中心；通过促进对儿童汽车伤害的科学调查，并将这些发现转化为商业应用、干预措施、政策和预防公共教育计划，它运用其领导地位、前沿研究和协同合作伙伴关系来实现其使命。该中心背后的基本理念是，儿童、青少年和年轻人不是小大人（在机械上、心理上、发展上或社会上），车祸伤害是他们死亡和获得性残疾的主要原因之一。基于可靠的科学基础对这些年龄组的车祸伤害及其原因进行有效干预是国家的一项优先事项。随着监管、技术、消费者行为和需求变得越来越复杂和复杂，该中心的行业和政府研究成果能够指导保护我们国家儿童的战略。儿童伤害预防研究中心在五个相关主题上与工业界合作：生物力学；技术解决方案;人为因素;安全宣传教育；和评估;在过去的十年中，该中心的会费会员增加了四倍多，从5个增加到22个，启动并完成了92个个人研究项目，这些项目大量利用了私营部门的资金。该中心的更广泛影响包括学生教育和参与研究，通过提供关于儿童伤害和预防战略的基础研究促进国民健康，以及开展各种私营部门和政府赞助者感兴趣的竞争前研究。在这个更新阶段（第三阶段），中心领导及其工业顾问委员会将继续完善他们合作开发的中心流程，以确保中心开展的研究是多样化的，并能满足科学和工业的需求。在新的阶段，中心正在将其知识和研究范围从汽车伤害和预防扩展到与运动和航空有关的伤害。

This third phase of support for the Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies builds on a strong foundation that will, at the end of five years, transition into sustainability with the help of a broad base of industry and interested government agency support. This Industry/University Cooperative Research Center is the only one devoted to the study of child, youth, and young adult automotive injury and injury prevention; and it applies its leadership position, cutting edge research, and synergistic partnerships to achieve its mission, by facilitating the conduct of scientific inquiry into child automotive injuries and translating these findings into commercial applications, interventions, policies, and public education programs for prevention. The fundamental idea behind the Center is that children, youth, and young adults are not small adults (mechanically, psychologically, developmentally, or socially) and car crash injuries are one of their leading causes of death and acquired disability. Effective interventions, based on sound scientific foundations to car crash injuries in these age groups and their causes, are a national priority. As regulation, technology and consumer behavior and demand become increasingly complex and sophisticated, industry and government research and findings from the Center are able to guide strategies to protect our nation's children. The Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies works collaboratively with industry across five related themes: biomechanics; technological solutions; human factors; safety promotion and education; and evaluation; and over the course of the last ten years the Center has more than quadrupled its dues paying membership from 5 to 22 members, initiating and completing 92 individual research projects that heavily leverage private sector funds. Broader impacts of the Center include student education and engagement in research, promoting the national health by providing fundamental research on child injuries and strategies for prevention, and performing precompetitive research of interest to a wide variety of private sector and governmental sponsors.In this renewal phase (Phase III), Center leadership and its Industrial Advisory Board will continue to refine Center processes that they develop collaboratively to ensure that research carried out by the Center is diverse and responsive to scientific and industry needs. In the new phase, the Center is expanding its intellectual and research reach from automotive injuries and prevention to include those of injuries related to sports and aviation.
