Goldstick recognized with Research Faculty Achievement Award
Jason Goldstick, Ph.D., will be honored by the Office of the Vice President for Research this fall for his significant research contributions and leadership in the field of firearm injury and prevention.

The Office of the Vice President for Research will honor six research faculty members from across the University of Michigan for their significant contributions and leadership in fields ranging from firearm injury prevention and multi-scale computation to Earth remote sensing and molecular imaging.
Jason Goldstick, Ph.D., research associate professor of emergency medicine, will receive the Research Faculty Achievement Award at the President’s Faculty Awards event this fall. He is also the co-director of the Data and Methods Core at the Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention, and director of the statistics and methods section at the Injury Prevention Center.
Goldstick has led and contributed to high-impact research, most notably the first report that found firearm injuries are the leading cause of death among children and adolescents. His research interests include violence and substance-use epidemiology, overdose surveillance and estimating behavioral intervention treatment effects.
“The University of Michigan is uniquely positioned to address some of society’s most pressing and urgent needs, and this is due in large part to the dedication and commitment of our talented research faculty,” said Arthur Lupia, interim vice president for research and innovation.
“As leaders who are at the forefront in advancing research, scholarship and creative practice, our faculty are steadfast in their resolve to tackle complex challenges impacting communities across Michigan, the nation and globe.”
The six award recipients were selected by Lupia, following recommendations from this year’s selection committee: Trachette Jackson, Brad Orr, Lisa Prosser and Geoffrey Thün.
