Our vision is to reduce mortality and
morbidity from injury in the United States through enhancement of the
training infrastructure for state, local and tribal health departments and
their diverse partners.
Who is leading the initiative?
The State and Territorial Injury Prevention Directors Association (STIPDA) and the Society for the Advancement of Violence and Injury Research (SAVIR) are leading the effort to enhance the injury prevention training infrastructure in the United States.
The Maternal and Child Health Bureau (MCHB) and the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC) at CDC have provided the initiative with planning funds.
