Executive Summary - Professor Harold Weiss, PhD, MPH, MS
Dr. Weiss’ career in public health began in 1974. He has served at both the local and state levels in a
variety of professional capacities ranging from environmental health enforcement, infectious and
environmental disease control, to statewide program planner and section supervisor in childhood
injury control. In all of his public service, his work has been noted for its dedication, creativity,
importance and intensity. At all levels, he has shown the interest and adaptive ability to serve as a
leader and visionary in the young public health sciences of environmental epidemiology and injury
control. Since focusing his career in injury control in 1985, he quickly became a leader serving in
several national leadership positions. He has been a creative force in helping the field move forward
in many areas including training, communications, and improved surveillance.
Dr. Weiss began his academic career at the University of Pittsburgh in 1992 when he was chosen to
help develop the new Injury Research Center (CIRCL). He almost immediately was successful in
garnering key and substantial extramural funding from both state and federal sources. His major role
in helping to kick-start the Center is an important reason why the Center still exists today. It is
notable that while engaged full-time in helping to build the Center, writing grants, working with
students, submitting papers and running projects, Dr. Weiss managed to squeeze in his doctoral
degree and dissertation as a part-time student from 1994-1999.
His research career has covered a variety of topics including injury surveillance, school violence
prevention, baby walkers, pesticide poisonings, bicycle injuries, transportation safety, farm injuries,
hospital discharge data, data linkage, elderly falls, motorcycle injuries, recreational injuries and
ferret bites, among other areas. Currently, he is focusing on the study of injuries to females,
pregnant women, and fetal outcomes due to trauma and the intersection of adolescent mobility and
health.
Dr Weiss has a strong record of scholarly publications with over 60 refereed publications. He has
three publications in JAMA, two as first author, and several letters to the editor published in leading
journals. Many of the articles are notable for covering new ground, opening new fields; leading to
changes in the way some federal agencies do their work. His topical focus and approaches to his
field of endeavor (injury control) are innovative and well thought of by his peers.
Dr. Weiss was a very early adopter of the Internet. He is author of several websites including the
Injury Control Resource Information Network (ICRIN), which was awarded several honors and was
one of the top websites in the field (top listed “injury control” web site on the Internet (Google,
2002-3). Dr. Weiss does not currently have many formal teaching responsibilities, but he
communicates often to the next generation of researchers and practitioners through the websites as
well as numerous presentations and lectures at meetings, roundtables and conferences and as a
graduate student mentor. He also pioneered synchronous delivery of lectures, seminars and group
coordination through live Emeeting tools.
Dr. Weiss has been consistently successful in obtaining independent funding from a variety of state
and federal agencies. Several large grants he was PI on were instrumental in the qualification of the
Center for its initial round of CDC funding. His University of Pittsburgh grants portfolio includes
over $7 million over 16 years. He is an active member of professional societies and sought after
member of specialist working groups and review panels.

In October, 2002, Dr. Weiss was appointed the Director of the Center for Injury Research and
Control (CIRCL) by the Vice Chancellor for the Health Sciences and led the successful competitive
renewal effort for five years of funding. The Center conducts and promotes injury control research,
gathers and disseminates information on injuries, provides training for health professionals, and
informs public and community leaders on injury control issues. Dr. Weiss led the administrative
core and supervised six people including students, faculty, and staff. CIRCL was an
interdisciplinary academic research program involving many schools and departments at the
University of Pittsburgh.
In 2009 he became Director of the Injury Prevention Research Unit and Professor in the Department
of Preventive and Social Medicine, Dunedin School of Medicine, at the University of Otago,
Dunedin, New Zealand. From 2010-2012 he was the Scientific Chair for the World Injury
Conference held in Wellington, NZ October, 2012.
