Past Award: SOPHE/CDC Student Fellowship in Injury Prevention
The Student Fellowship in Injury Prevention was funded by the CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control for 27 years. Unfortunately, due to the loss of funding and cuts from the U.S. federal administration, this fellowship is no longer funded.
The fellowship recognized, assisted and trained students working on research or practice-based projects in unintentional injury prevention from the perspective of health education or the behavioral sciences.
Fellowships were awarded to those working on projects related to:
- drug overdose
- transportation/motor vehicle-related injury
- older adult fall prevention
- drowning
- suicide
- concussion/traumatic brain injury
Recipients received:
- $2,000 stipend.
- Fellowship certificate of completion.
- Free one-year SOPHE student membership.
- Complimentary registration at SOPHE’s Annual Conference.
- An opportunity to share your work via a poster session or an oral presentation during SOPHE’s Annual Conference.
- SOPHE and CDC recognition.
SOPHE is grateful for the this past partnership with CDC’s National Injury Prevention Center and commends the the many past fellows recognized through this past fellowship opportunity.
