GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The CDC grant guidance instructs States to (1) mobilize support and build partnerships by identifying, contacting and inviting potential key private, professional, voluntary and nonprofit injury prevention and control organizations, injury care providers, policymakers, consumers, payers, media, State and Federal agencies, surveillance, research and academic institutions, and others to become members of a new or existing State/territory-wide Injury Community Planning Group; (2) review surveillance data to help identify and prioritize injury and violence problems with the state; (3) review and identify evidence-based appropriate interventions; and (4) identify implementation partners for identified policies and interventions.

This FIPAC meets “in person” twice a year in a central location. The meeting is a one-night meeting that meets the above grant requirements. During the one and one-half day meeting there will be a general session and five goal-team break-out sessions in order to be cost effective. The goal teams are:

Goal 1: Establish a sustainable infrastructure that provides leadership, funding, data, communication, policy, and evaluation for injury prevention.

Goal 2: Support collaboration and statewide educational and awareness opportunities that are data driven causes of injury.

Goal 3: Establish a collaborative effort to provide statewide direction and focus for fall-related injury prevention for Florida’s older adults.
