- ICE       **Funding Strategies**

**Notes:**
I always look forward to participating on these calls—however, it’s a bit daunting to BE the call.  I don’t claim to have all of the answers but I am pretty proud of what we have been able to build over the last 15 years.  I want to pay out the next 20 minutes or so sharing with you some strategies that have worked well for injury prevention in California.  None of which is rocket science.  None of which could have been accomplished without nurturing some very traditional and some very unlikely partnerships—at the state and the local levels.

##   Budget Woes!

**We all have them!**

## What do we need funding for?

- Support travel to increase participation of developing countries
- Seed money to hire part-time RA’s for project work (core + developing countries)
- Increase dissemination of products

## What else do we need funding for?

- Develop a research agenda
- Facilitate a plan for dissemination of data and to implement the plan
- “How to...” product development for implementation by other countries, e.g.
- Analyze existing data
- Identify gaps in injury data and develop a plan to address gaps

## and funding for....

- Travel to support our technical assistance to  other countries, including  U.S. federal agency staff

## What might attract funding?

**Notes:**
Today, I thought the best approach to this conversation is to share some practical steps (and, of course, lessons learned) in developing a few funding strategies that could be replicated in your state.

Collaborating with another DHS program (Maternal, Adolescent and Child Health)
Collaborating with a sister state agency
Working with a private foundation
Facilitating new funding streams via legislation
