Funding Opportunities
The Injury Prevention Research Center at Emory (IPRCE) is dedicated to reducing injuries and violence through innovative research, education, and community outreach. By mobilizing resources and translating research into effective practices, IPRCE addresses critical issues such as drug safety and overdose prevention, transportation safety, violence prevention, fall prevention, and traumatic brain injuries. IPRCE pilots, collaborations, and mentorship has led to more than $25M in grants to Emory.
The center supports these efforts through a variety of internal and external funding opportunities. If you are aware of funding opportunities that you'd like us to share, please email iprce@emory.edu.
Faculty Funding Opportunities
IPRCE provides numerous funding opportunities for faculty involved in injury prevention research. These opportunities are designed to support multidisciplinary research and innovative interventions aimed at reducing the burden of injuries in Georgia and the Southeast region.
IPRCE offers some support to faculty and partners that are developing proposals. Please reach out to
Available Grants for Faculty
- IPRCE Pilot Research Program: IPRCE will award between 1-2 Pilot grants per year; each project will receive $20k to $40k (direct costs) over a 12-to-18-month period. Each pilot project will build the foundation for a future major externally funded (e.g., NIH R01) grant that will advance NCIPC and IPRCE priorities. The review and selection process is announced annually to meet priorities set by the center during that funding cycle to meet injury and violence research needs. Priorities may include projects that (1) advance health equity, (2) engage communities disproportionately affected by injury, violence, and overdose using CBPAR principles, (3) involve collaboration with Georgia DPH's Injury Prevention Program and their NCIPC funded grant activities (e.g., Core SIPP or PACE D2A), and (4) utilize implementation science. Pilot award announcements are disseminated via faculty distribution listservs within Emory. Here is more information on being a core faculty member.
- IPRCE assists in the development of pilot research proposals through constructive and supportive feedback that improves significance, feasibility, translation potential, possible future funding potential, and relevance to addressing most pressing injury and violence issues in the U.S. Many of our pilot proposals help promote junior faculty who can use this time to receive mentorship and improve proposal design, and assist in the development of future NIH funding opportunities.

Community Organization Funding Opportunities
IPRCE also collaborates with community organizations to implement injury prevention programs and initiatives. These partnerships are essential for translating research findings into practical interventions that benefit the community.
