TRANSLATING FIREFIGHTER HEALTH RESEARCH INTO PRACTICE
EVIDENCE-BASED HEALTH, WELLNESS, AND SAFETY SOLUTIONS FOR FIREFIGHTERS AND EMS PROFESSIONALS
Science to the Station exists to bridge the gap between cutting-edge firefighter & EMS health research and the realities of station life.
Our mission, vision, and guiding principles shape everything we do: from the studies we translate to the partnerships we build.
Guiding Principles
We're here to lend our expertise to move public safety forward, always letting science and data lead as the foundation of practice and policy. We keep personal opinions separate from official positions and hold ourselves to one simple standard: don't be a jerk. Respect people and dialogue.
Vision
To become the nation’s go-to resource where practice shapes research, research drives practice, and responders thrive because of it.
We envision a future where every firefighter and EMS provider has access to science-backed tools and strategies that protect their health, extend their careers, and improve their quality of life.
Mission
To foster collaboration and communication between subject
matter experts and frontline firefighting & EMS personnel, translating and disseminating evidence-informed health,
wellness, and safety education and interventions.
We do this by creating resources, facilitating dialogue, and
building alliances that make research accessible and actionable for firefighters and EMS professionals nationwide.
How We Bring Our Mission to Life
Research Translation
We convert complex studies into practical, actionable resources through our DocTalk series, infographics, and Resource Hub.
Community Building
Our Scholars and Researchers Alliances and Workgroups connect firefighters, EMS professionals, and scientists in meaningful collaboration.
Actionable Knowledge
Through our annual conference, infographics, and educational materials, we bring evidence-based practices directly to stations.
