The Center is focused on having unintentional injury rates in athletes of all levels and abilities, from children to senior citizens, and from recreational to professional athletes.

Apart from the annual pilot research grant competition for U-M faculty (see links below), the Center is developing tailored outreach programs for athletes, coaches and parents. It is also seeking close collaborate with regulatory bodies and sports equipment manufacturers to reduce injury risk. Interim Directors are Edward M. Wojtys, M.D. and James A. Ashton-Miller, Ph.D.
