ICRC Affiliate Faculty Member Honored

Dr. Danielle Davidov has been selected to participate in a federally-funded initiative designed to build careers for researchers in child maltreatment and intimate partner violence. The Early Career Scholar Interdisciplinary Training Program is designed to facilitate these early career scholars to successfully prepare a competitive research proposal through access to senior investigators training, mentoring and proposal critique. This project is funded by the National Institute of Child and Human Development (NICHD) and executed through a collaboration of CDC-funded injury and violence prevention center scholars at the Medical College of Wisconsin, the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in collaboration with the Colorado ICRC, Washington University, and the Society for Advancement of Violence and Injury Research.
