The NVDRS (National Violent Death Reporting System) is being developed in Oregon through a cooperative agreement with The Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

This program collects information from many data sources and compile incident-based cases for all violent deaths in Oregon in order to generate public health information on violent deaths and to develop violence prevention strategies. This project is collaborating with multiple state agencies and with other Injury Prevention programs.

Goals
The goals of the project are to develop an incident-based relational database that collects and links data on violent deaths from multiple sources; to generate public health information on violent deaths at national, state, and local levels that is more detailed, useful, and timely than information currently available; and to help develop, inform, and evaluate violence prevention strategies at both state and national levels.
