The Rhode Island Injury Prevention Research Fellowship is a non-ACGME research fellowship grounded in the mission of training talented physician researchers who are driven to make meaningful advancements in injury control through collaborative research, implementation science, advocacy, and community-based partnerships. Fellows are graduates of emergency medicine or pediatric residency programs or pediatric emergency medicine fellowships and work clinically at the emergency departments affiliated with Brown University Health.

Sponsored by the Brown University Health Department of Emergency Medicine and the Rhode Island Injury Prevention Center, our one- or two-year research fellowship offers a rich array of research and clinical opportunities, robust interdepartmental collaboration, and mentorship in all key domains of Injury Prevention Research.

Upon completion of the fellowship, graduates will be prepared for an academic career with a dedicated focus on injury and violence research.

The fellowship offers a very competitive salary and benefits package.

This customizable fellowship program allows for a traditional two-year track or an accelerated one-year track for select candidates with pre-existing advanced degrees or specific prior training.

Through ongoing diverse partnerships between Rhode Island Injury Prevention Center Faculty and local and national organizations, fellows are offered opportunities to participate in collaborative research, community outreach, academic conferences, and education at the state and national level.

The Injury Prevention Center of Rhode Island Hospital has a well-established research program, with a long track record of funding support from the NIH, CDC, state agencies, and private foundations. It also has strong community service and professional education programs. As part of their training, fellows will have the opportunity to work with a large group of physician-researchers, PhD researchers, masters-level clinical research staff, community program staff and the faculty of Brown University.
