CDC award expands U-M Injury Control Research Center

Posted 08/06/2012

The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has selected U-M to become one of its Injury Control Research Centers, a rare designation held by only 10 other institutions.

With a five-year, $4.2 million grant from CDC, U-M researchers will expand their already strong effort to prevent death and disability, as well as to treat injuries from automobile crashes, prescription drug overdoses, violence – such as bullying, suicide, and child maltreatment – and other leading causes of injury in the region.
