The Colorado Injury Control Research Center, located at Colorado State University, was established in 1995 with funding from the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
CICRC Mission Statement
The mission of the Colorado Injury Control Research Center (CICRC) is dedicated to providing leadership within the Rocky Mountain Region in reducing the occurrence, severity and adverse consequences of injuries and violence through developing and applying evidence based approaches that bridge research with practice including both policy and programs. The CICRC emphasizes building community based partnerships, particularly among under-served populations such as Hispanics, Native Americans, and rural residents and their families.
The CICRC is located in PHS Region VIII. PHS Region VIII includes Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. In an effort to address important injury problems in the region based on societal burden and reflect CICRC strengths, the following priority areas have been identified to guide center activities: traumatic brain injuries, falls in the elderly, built environment (including motor vehicle related injuries), alcohol, suicide, and violence.
