Funded Programs and Activities

Through its programs, the Injury Center works with national organizations, state health agencies, and other key groups to develop, implement, and promote effective injury and violence prevention and control practices.

Core State Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core SVIPP)

The Injury Center provides funding and technical assistance to states through its Core State Violence and Injury Prevention Program (Core SVIPP). This program supports 23 state health departments to implement, evaluate and disseminate strategies that address the most pressing injury and violence issues including: Child Abuse and Neglect, Traumatic Brain Injury, Motor Vehicle Crash Injury and Death, and Intimate Partner/Sexual Violence. The program builds on the infrastructure that was established through previous iterations of the Core VIPP CE11-1101.

Injury Control Research Centers (ICRCs)

CDC funds Injury Control Research Centers to conduct research in all three core phases of injury control (prevention, acute care, and rehabilitation) and serve as training centers as well as information centers for the public. Research design in these centers is interdisciplinary and incorporates the fields of medicine, engineering, epidemiology, law, and criminal justice, behavioral and social sciences, biostatistics, public health, and biomechanics.

National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS)

NVDRS is a state-based surveillance system that links data from law enforcement, coroners and medical examiners, vital statistics, and crime laboratories to assist each participating state in designing and implementing tailored prevention and intervention efforts. NVDRS provides data on violence trends at national and regional levels; each state can access all of these important data elements from one central database.

Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) Program

Sexual violence, including rape, is preventable. Recognizing this, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act in 1994. This landmark legislation established the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The goal of the RPE program is to strengthen sexual violence prevention efforts. It operates in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and six U.S. territories.
