DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Established in 1990, the University of Iowa Injury Prevention Research Center (IPRC) is the only such center in Federal Region 7. The IPRC aims to use interdisciplinary research to control and prevent injuries, especially in rural communities. Over the last five years, the IPRC has grown to include 39 researchers from 16 departments, as well as, a wide network of community and government collaborators. These researchers have published more than 200 peer-reviewed manuscripts and have successfully competed for more than $52 million in injury research funding. Over the next five years, the IPRC will continue its tradition of excellence in research, training, outreach, and administrative supervision. The center will be organized into a Management Team that oversees daily operations, an Executive Committee that implements our vision for the center, three Cores, six Expert Research Teams, and five research projects. The Research Support Core, Training Core, and Administrative and Outreach Core provide services to IPRC partners, including a very successful pilot grant program that is funded through institutional support. The six Expert Teams are organized around our priority research topics: Simulation and Human Factors; Interpersonal Violence; Behavioral Sciences and Evaluation; Acute Care; Rural Injuries; and International Research. Teams promote the growth of research within their topic areas by linking researchers to IPRC Core services, mentoring students and junior faculty, and engaging with community partners. Our five independent research projects address a wide variety of injury topics: an evaluation of a teen driving safety program; measurement of psychosocial consequences of collegiate athletic injuries; an evaluation of improvements of Batterer's Education Programs; a foundational study to design a domestic violence intervention; and an examination of how children negotiate challenging road-crossing situations on their bicycles. This last project will use the country's only bicycle simulator. These projects include Principal Investigators from Community and Behavioral Health, Engineering, Social Work, Epidemiology, and Psychology and involve partners such as the Department of Corrections, local schools, and health care clinics. The center's proposed activities constitute a broad, multidisciplinary, and collaborative program in research, training, and outreach.

描述（由申请人提供）：爱荷华大学伤害预防研究中心 (IPRC) 成立于 1990 年，是联邦第七区唯一的此类中心。IPRC 旨在利用跨学科研究来控制和预防伤害，特别是在农村社区。 在过去五年中，IPRC 已发展到拥有来自 16 个部门的 39 名研究人员以及广泛的社区和政府合作者网络。 这些研究人员发表了 200 多篇经过同行评审的手稿，并成功竞争了超过 5200 万美元的伤害研究经费。 未来五年，IPRC 将继续其在研究、培训、推广和行政监督方面的卓越传统。 该中心将由一个负责监督日常运营的管理团队、一个负责实现中心愿景的执行委员会、三个核心、六个专家研究团队和五个研究项目组成。 研究支持核心、培训核心以及行政和外展核心为 IPRC 合作伙伴提供服务，包括通过机构支持资助的非常成功的试点资助计划。 六个专家团队围绕我们的优先研究主题组建：模拟和人为因素；人际暴力；行为科学与评估；急症护理；农村伤害；和国际研究。 团队通过将研究人员与 IPRC 核心服务联系起来、指导学生和初级教师以及与社区合作伙伴合作，促进其主题领域内研究的发展。 我们的五个独立研究项目涉及各种伤害主题：青少年驾驶安全计划的评估；测量大学运动损伤的心理社会后果；对施虐者教育计划的改进进行评估；设计家庭暴力干预措施的基础研究；并检查孩子们如何骑自行车应对具有挑战性的过马路情况。 最后一个项目将使用该国唯一的自行车模拟器。 这些项目包括来自社区和行为健康、工程、社会工作、流行病学和心理学的首席研究员，并涉及惩教署、当地学校和医疗保健诊所等合作伙伴。 该中心拟议的活动构成了研究、培训和推广方面广泛的、多学科的合作计划。
