DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose the Penn Violence and Injury Control Research Center (PVICRC) as a developmental ICRC whose focus is the reduction of violence and injuries among low-resourced populations through the highest caliber science, education, and outreach. The proposed Center will bring together university, community, and government partners around injury and violence intervention programs with the highest potential for impact. These high impact programs will typically have three cardinal features; they will: make structural changes (for example, to places), be scalable to cover large populations, and be sustainable over long periods of time. Injury prevention among low-resourced populations faces unique issues of poverty, poor community engagement, eroding physical and service infrastructures, growing health disparities, and structural stressors in the surrounding environment that have, heretofore, been under-studied by violence and injury prevention researchers. While not ignoring the importance of rural injuries, a primary focus of the proposed Center would be to build more effective and efficient approaches to reduce violence and injury in an urban context by focusing on the intersections of environment, biology and behavior. In doing so, this developmental ICRC will build the infrastructure and capacity for a sustained, comprehensive injury center that will use research, education and outreach to prevent injuries more broadly for vulnerable, low-resourced communities. The Center's current academic and clinical environment is rich in resources for injury science, education and outreach, but has historically lacked a centralized structure dedicated to the development and maintenance of high caliber injury research scientists, training, translation, and outreach. The goal of this developmental Center is to promote and perform the highest quality research, training and translation of scientific discoveries into practice and policy, in order to reduce injuries, violence and their impact nationwide, particularly among vulnerable urban populations. The proposed developmental Center is organized around two cores, the Administrative Core and the Training, Education and Outreach (TEO) Core, a Planning Board, and a Centerpiece Research Project, a 3-arm randomized community intervention trial of actual changes to vacant and abandoned spaces in Philadelphia to scientifically assess the impact of these changes on violence. Led by the Administrative Core, the TEO Core, a Planning Board, and a Centerpiece Research Project will collaborate to complete important research, training and translation activities while, at the same time, engaging the Penn community, as well as local and national stakeholders, in the planning, implementation, and advancement of a fully funded and sustainable comprehensive ICRC.

描述（由申请人提供）：我们建议宾夕法尼亚州的暴力和伤害控制研究中心（PVICRC）作为发展性红十字国际委员会，其重点是通过最高的能力科学，教育和外展活动减少低资源人群中的暴力和伤害。拟议中心将围绕大学，社区和政府合作伙伴围绕受伤和暴力干预计划，具有最高的影响力。这些高影响力计划通常具有三个主要功能。他们将：进行结构性改变（例如，到处），可扩展以覆盖大量人群，并在长时间内保持可持续性。低资源人群中的伤害预防面临贫困，社区参与度贫困，身体和服务基础设施的独特问题，健康差异的日益增长以及周围环境中的结构压力源，这些环境迄今未受暴力和伤害预防研究人员所研究的。虽然不忽略农村伤害的重要性，但该中心的主要重点是建立更有效，有效的方法，以通过关注环境，生物学和行为的交叉点来减少城市环境中的暴力和伤害。这样一来，这种发展性红十字国际委员会将建立一个持续，全面的伤害中心的基础设施和能力，该中心将使用研究，教育和外展，以防止对脆弱，低资源的社区更广泛地伤害伤害。该中心目前的学术和临床环境丰富了伤害科学，教育和外展的资源，但历史上缺乏专门用于开发和维护高素质伤害研究科学家，培训，翻译和外展的集中式结构。该发展中心的目的是促进和进行最高质量的研究，培训和翻译科学发现为实践和政策，以减少全国范围内的伤害，暴力及其影响，尤其是在脆弱的城市人口中。拟议的发展中心围绕两个核心组织，即行政核心以及培训，教育和外展（TEO）核心，计划委员会和一个核心研究项目，这是一项3臂随机社区干预试验，对费城的空置和废弃空间的实际变化进行了研究，以科学评估这些变化对暴力的影响。由行政核心，TEO核心，计划委员会和核心研究项目领导，将合作完成重要的研究，培训和翻译活动，同时吸引宾夕法尼亚州社区，以及本地和国家利益相关者，在计划，实施，实施，实施，一项全面资助和可持续综合的ICRC方面。
