• Center for Injury Epidemiology – conducts original epidemiological research into risk factors for occupational injury and studies the burden of workplace injury.
• Center for Behavioral Sciences – studies the impact of behavioral, cognitive, and organizational factors surrounding workplace injuries and highway collisions.
• Center for Physical Ergonomics – studies the causes and mechanisms of occupational injuries with a focus on musculoskeletal disorders.
• Center for Disability Research – investigates worker disability and ways to achieve safe and sustained return-to-work for injured or disabled workers.
