DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): For more than a quarter-century, the University of North Carolina (UNC) Injury Prevention Research Center (IPRC) has transformed and advanced the field of injury control. At the start of our second quarter- century, IPRC is positioned to continue to be a world leader in collaborative efforts to reduce the incidence and consequences of injury and violence. Our Mission of building the field of injury and violence prevention and control is implemented in our Vision of collaborative evidence-based action in local, state, national, and global communities. The theme for the 5-year cycle proposed in this application is "Preventing Injury and Violence by Connecting Interdisciplinary Research to Programs, Policy and Practice". IPRC has three Cores, each with its own Aim. The Aim of the Administration & Leadership Core is to "Foster and Sustain Innovative Interdisciplinary Research". The Aim of the Outreach & Translation Core is to "Translate Research Findings into Programs, Policies, and Practice". The Aim of the Training & Education Core is to "Train the Next Generation of Injury Researchers and Practitioners". IPRC research activities are focused on six program areas: Motor Vehicle-related Injury, Violence Against Children & Youth, Prescription Drug Overdose, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Intimate Partner Violence, and Falls in Older Adults. The four research projects proposed in this application address four of these six areas. Project 1 is a Falls Prevention project entitled "There is No BEAUTY in Falling (Bringing Education and Understanding to You)". It addresses falls prevention using hair stylists to deliver falls prevention messaging. Project 2 is a Traumatic Brain Injury project entitled "Head Impact Biomechanics as a Behavior Modification Tool to Reduce Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Risk." It examines a behavioral intervention that uses advanced helmet technology to help youth football athletes develop safer tackling techniques. Project 3 is Motor Vehicle-related Injury project entitled "Driver Licensing Policies and Young People in NC: Unintended Consequences on Racial/Ethnic Minority Populations". It quantifies the effect of graduated driver licensing in minority and economically underserved communities using road traffic crash data and driver licensing data. Project 4 is a Prescription Drug Overdose project entitled "Evaluation of the Proactive Reporting Provision of North Carolina's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program". It studies the effect of introducing proactive reporting into the state's prescription drug monitoring program using data from the monitoring program database. In addition to these research projects, the outreach, translation, and training initiatives proposed in this application are designed to facilitate workforce development and policy change. IPRC has developed innovative techniques for translating scientific research into tangible changes in policies and practice. Our enhanced capacity for research translation is due in part to our significant staff expertise in this area and in part to ur long-standing history of active collaboration with our state's Injury and Violence Prevention Branch in the NC Dept. of Health & Human Services.

描述（由申请人提供）： 北卡罗来纳大学（UNC）预防研究中心（IPRC）在25年以上，已经改变并推进了伤害控制领域。在我们第二个四分之一世纪初，IPRC将继续成为世界领导者，以减少伤害和暴力的发生率和后果。我们在当地，州，国家和全球社区的协作基于循证的行动的愿景中实施了我们建立伤害和暴力控制领域的使命。本申请中提出的5年周期的主题是“通过将跨学科研究与计划，政策和实践联系起来来防止伤害和暴力”。 IPRC有三个核心，每个核心都有自己的目标。政府和领导力核心的目的是“培养和维持创新的跨学科研究”。宣传与翻译核心的目的是“将研究发现转化为计划，政策和实践”。培训和教育核心的目的是“培训下一代伤害研究人员和从业者”。 IPRC研究活动集中在六个计划领域：与汽车有关的伤害，针对儿童和青少年的暴力行为，处方药过量，颅脑外伤，亲密伴侣暴力和老年人跌倒。该申请中提出的四个研究项目中，这六个领域中的四个。项目1是一个预防瀑布的项目，标题为“跌倒（为您带来教育和理解）没有美丽”。它使用发型师来解决预防瀑布，以传递瀑布预防消息。项目2是一个创伤性脑损伤项目，标题为“头部影响生物力学作为一种行为修改工具，可降低轻度的脑损伤风险”。它检查了一种行为干预，该行为干预使用先进的头盔技术来帮助青年足球运动员开发更安全的铲球技术。项目3是机动车相关的伤害项目，标题为“北卡罗来纳州的驾驶政策和年轻人：对种族/族裔少数民族人口的意外后果”。它使用道路交通事故数据和驾驶许可数据量化了少数族裔和经济贫乏社区中分级驾驶许可的效果。项目4是一个处方药过量项目，名为“评估北卡罗来纳州处方药监测计划的主动报告规定”。它研究了使用监视计划数据库中的数据向州的处方药监测计划中的积极报告的效果。除这些研究项目外，本申请中提出的外展，翻译和培训计划旨在促进劳动力发展和政策变化。 IPRC开发了创新技术，将科学研究转化为政策和实践的切实变化。我们的研究翻译能力增强的部分原因是我们在这一领域的重要员工专业知识，部分原因是您长期以来与美国卫生与公共服务部的州伤害和暴力预防分支机构积极合作的历史。
