The Center for Injury Research and Prevention (CIRP) is a multidisciplinary group of behavioral scientists, clinicians, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, engineers, public health practitioners, and communications professionals at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute. We are dedicated to translating research into action to keep children, teens, and young adults safe from injury.

Together, we work to translate rigorous scientific research into practical tools and guidelines for families, professionals, and policymakers to ensure research results extend to make a real-world impact.

CIRP offers evidence-based information, resources, and tools from our injury prevention experts across these pediatric injury research priorities:

• Child Occupant Protection
• Concussion and Head Injury
• Crash Avoidance and Autonomous Vehicles
• Transportation Planning for Safe Mobility
• Teen Driving Safety
• Traffic Medicine and Transportation Equity 
• Traumatic Stress
• Violence Prevention
