Research

Our research team was one of the founding members of the Crash Injury Research Engineering Network (CIREN), a government-industry research consortium of NHTSA and we were involved with this project for 14 years.

We are committed to supporting the NIH Roadmap's integrated vision by generating opportunities in three main areas:

1. New pathways to discovery
2. Research teams of the future
3. Re-engineering the research enterprise

Education Fellowship
Education

For more than 25 years of the ICAM Fellowship, our center's faculty and reseachers have trained automotive engineers in anatomy, medical science, and injury care, providing them with actionable insights to improve vehicle design and develop safer vehicles. These collaborations clearly demonstrate the potential for expanded cross-training of engineers in the medical sciences.

Policy

Our ongoing federally-funded research projects provide us with direct access to the databases of several large national multi-center studies.

This data access, coupled with the internationally-recognized expertise of its researchers, allows the center to drive policy-making at multiple levels.
