The University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus received a $849,523 Project Grant award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs (CFDA 93.136) to operate the Injury and Violence Prevention Center. This 5-year award, running from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2029, supports research, education, training, and direct services focused on preventing various forms of injuries and violence in Colorado, including sexual violence, child abuse, youth violence, intimate partner violence, and firearm-related incidents. The university will conduct this work in collaboration with Fort Lewis College, which will receive a sub-award to support the project's objectives in serving rural and indigenous communities. The overall program emphasizes evidence-based strategies, addressing social determinants of health, and promoting health equity through partnerships with state agencies and community stakeholders.
