Description
The Comprehensive Injury Center (CIC) at the Medical College of Wisconsin invites proposals for seed funding to support innovative injury-related research projects that specifically address injury disparities—defined as injuries disproportionately affecting underserved or at-risk populations, or those leading to health disparities. The goal is to generate preliminary data or findings that will strengthen future federal grant applications and advance injury prevention and control science, especially for marginalized communities. Projects must span the T0-T5 research continuum and demonstrate clear relevance to injury disparities.
