As Director of the TRIP Lab, Dr. Stavrinos and her team are studying the cognitive aspects of transportation-related injury with a particular emphasis on the impact of distraction among at risk groups such as teens and young adults, older adults, and drivers with developmental disabilities. She has received funding from multiple federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation.

Dr. Stavrinos has received numerous prestigious awards including being selected as a USDOT Dwight D. Eisenhower Fellow, the UAB University Transportation Center Student of the Year, the Society for Public Health Education Injury Prevention Fellow and most recently the Routh Early Career Award in Pediatric Psychology. Dr. Stavrinos’ applied behavioral background and expertise in unintentional injury and driving behavior has prepared her to serve as a research mentor to nearly a hundred of graduate, undergraduate and high school students creating highly relevant and engaging opportunities for students so they become active participants in the learning process.
