EXAMPLES OF FUNDED PROJECTS:
(1) Injury Control Research
Centers (ICRC) have undertaken a broad range of work. For example,
the John Hopkins University ICRC has sponsored Summer Training Institutes
for injury control researchers and practitioners. Harvard has been
a key planning, training, and program resource for injury control
programs in the New England States. Work at the University of North
Carolina ICRC has led to the creation of an injury control unit
in the North Carolina State Health Department. Harborview ICRC serves
as a State and regional resource in trauma and burn care and is
a leader of efforts to reduce pedestrian injuries and injuries associated
with motorcycles and bicycles. (2) Funded Injury Prevention and
Control Projects address priority research concerns encompassing
acute care, biomechanics, prevention, epidemiology, and rehabilitation.
As examples, researchers are investigating the mechanism of traumatic
brain injury due to impact, other investigators are defining risk
factors for intimate partner violence and another group is evaluating
the effectiveness of trauma systems. (3) Surveillance programs address
E- coded hospital discharge data; model surveillance systems to
address nonfatal injuries resulting from intentional and unintentional
injuries.
CRITERIA FOR SELECTING PROPOSALS:
Applications are reviewed
on the basis of scientific/technical merit, with attention being
given to such matters as: (1) The degree to which the applicant
satisfies the essential requirements and possesses other desired
characteristics, such as richness, breadth, and scientific merit
of the overall application relative to the types of research, demonstrations,
and special projects proposed; (2) clarity of purpose and overall
qualifications, adequacy and appropriateness of personnel to accomplish
proposed activities; (3) feasibility and likelihood of producing
meaningful results based on the significance of the proposed activities
and relevant evaluation procedures; (4) overall match between the
proposed programs and the nation's health priorities and needs;
and (5) reasonableness of the proposed budget in relation to the
work proposed.
