SCIENCE TO THE STATION IS
BUILT ON PARTNERSHIPS & RELATIONSHIPS
OUR PARTNERS
We work with researchers, fire and EMS leaders, national organizations, and funders who share a commitment to evidence‑informed practice and responder health.
Everything we do, we do with you!
Why Our Partners Matter
Our partners multiply what Science to the Station can do on its own. They bring scientific rigor, operational experience, and access to frontline responders across the country. By working together, we can ask better questions, design more practical studies, and turn findings into tools that departments actually use, not just reports that sit on a shelf.
How We Work with Our Partners
Partnerships at Science to the Station are active and collaborative. We co‑design projects, share what we are learning, and stay focused on getting science into daily practice. Each partner plays a distinct role, from shaping research questions to helping implement the results in stations and training programs.
Co‑Creating Relevant Research
We invite partners to help define the real‑world challenges they are seeing in the field. Those insights guide the questions our science experts explore, ensuring projects are grounded in the realities of staffing, workload, culture, and resources.
Turning Findings Into Usable Tools
Once research is completed, we translate findings into clear tools, briefs, checklists, training modules, and talking points that leaders can integrate into policies, wellness programs, and day‑to‑day operations. Partners help test these tools, refine them, and share what works with their own networks.
Sharing Learning Across The Fire And EMS Community
Through conferences, webinars, working groups, and direct department support, our partners help spread evidence‑informed practices. They make it possible for lessons learned in one system or study to reach hundreds of departments that would otherwise never see that information.
The Partners in Our Alliance
Science to the Station collaborates with a diverse mix of organizations. Each brings strengths that are essential to moving firefighter and EMS health research into action.
Research And Academic Partners
Universities and research centers bring scientific depth, study design, and data analysis. We work with them to ensure studies answer questions that matter to the field and can be translated into clear guidance for leaders and crews.
Fire And EMS Organizations
Fire departments, EMS agencies, unions, and professional associations provide real‑world context and access to the people most affected by new practices. They help us understand culture, workload, and implementation challenges so solutions are realistic for busy stations.
National Allies And Funders
National organizations, philanthropic partners, and sponsors make this work possible by investing in projects, events, and tools that move research into practice. Their support allows us to keep focusing on high‑impact, field‑driven priorities rather than one‑off initiatives.
