Injury Center Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs)

Initial Fiscal Year: 2004
Program: ERPO
FOA Number: CE04-047
FOA Title: Grants for Traumatic Injury Biomechanics Research

Purpose

The purposes of the program are to:
1. Solicit research applications that address the priorities reflected under the heading, “Research Objectives.”
2. Build the scientific base for the prevention and control of injuries, disabilities and deaths.
3. Encourage professionals from a wide spectrum of disciplines of engineering, epidemiology, medicine, biostatistics, public health, law and criminal justice, behavioral and social sciences to perform research in order to prevent and control injuries more effectively.
