Twice a year, the Injury and Violence Prevention Center awards up to 3 projects ($1500 per project) to support student projects in injury and violence prevention. The student stipend awards were created to attract and support students pursuing research and evaluation projects in the field of injury and violence prevention. Past awardees' projects included topics related to suicide, sports injuries, intimate partner violence, traffic laws and police violence, and child abuse. Other examples of projects include, but are not limited to work-related injuries, motor vehicle crashes, pedestrian injuries, fires and burns, falls, poisoning, drug overdose, etc. Visit our student projects page to see read about prior awardees and their projects.
