IVP Grand Rounds at SAVIR 2005

Session 1.6: “Strengthening Partnerships for Injury Prevention: University Injury Centers Collaborating with Tribal Colleges & Research Centers”

This session at SAVIR 2025 will explore how five Injury Control Research Centers are fostering partnerships with American Indian research centers and/or tribal colleges to advance injury prevention training and research in Indigenous communities. Panelists will highlight collaborative approaches to conducting culturally responsive research, capacity building, and community-driven interventions. Panelists will also describe collaborations in education and training, especially for undergraduate students in public health. Through case studies and shared experiences, the session will examine strategies for integrating Indigenous knowledge with evidence-based injury prevention practices, navigating institutional dynamics, and sustaining partnerships. Attendees will gain insights into best practices for meaningful collaboration and the role of graduate-focused academic research centers can support tribal-led initiatives.
