Description
The Comprehensive Injury Center (CIC) at the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) annually invites proposals for seed funding of injury-related research projects addressing injury disparities. Projects must focus on topics where injuries are over-represented in underserved or at-risk populations, or those leading to health disparities. The goal is to support innovative research that generates preliminary data or findings to facilitate a federal grant submission (e.g., NIH, CDC, AHRQ) within six months of project completion. The program leverages campus and community partnerships to advance injury control and prevention science, particularly for marginalized communities.
