National Center for Injury Prevention and Control

In fiscal year 2005, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funded eight National Academic Centers of Excellence (ACE) on Youth Violence Prevention to connect academic and community resources to study and create lasting ways to prevent youth violence. In 2006, funding was provided for two additional Urban Partnership Academic Centers of Excellence on Youth Violence Prevention. ACE’s are unique from traditional research centers because they work with community members and many educational, justice and social work partners to develop action plans, partnerships, and priorities to prevent youth violence in a local community.
