CIRP Partner Programs
At the Center of Injury Research and Prevention (CIRP), our care for children and families fuels our mission to accelerate the pace of research and programming to keep children safe – reducing injury and violence and promoting recovery. CIRP Partner Programs are critical to these efforts to address the leading causes of death and disability among youth in Philadelphia and across the nation.
Several of these CIRP Partner Programs have received special designation by Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Research Institute for their impact to improve the health and safety of children, adolescents, and young adults. These partnerships extend beyond CHOP to other academic partners regionally and nationally.
