Our Team
The Injury and Violence Prevention Center is a collaborative research center between the Colorado School of Public Health and the University of Colorado (CU) School of Medicine.
The center is located at the CU Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colorado, which is the largest academic health sciences campus in the Rocky Mountain region. The campus is home to six health professional schools and nationally ranked partner hospitals, research centers, and academic programs. This community of neighbors provides an ideal environment for collaboration and cultural innovation.
Our innovative, interconnected, and highly collaborative approach is at the forefront of advancing research, education, professional training, and community outreach. This makes the Injury and Violence Prevention Center a significant contributor to improving community health outcomes in the Rocky Mountain region.
