Datalys center
Sports Injury Research.
Getting you ahead of the game.

Equipping you to reduce downtime.
Datalys Center is a non-profit, independent organization focused on improving athletes’ and active individuals’ health, safety, and performance through science-based, research-centered services.
Since our start in 2006, our research has covered hundreds of studies, and we provide valuable insights for other organizations to implement safety improvements that prioritize potential. From workplaces to sports fields, our deep understanding of common injuries and illnesses aims to develop effective strategies to reduce injuries while keeping people out there doing what they love.
Datalys Center uses multiple data sources to identify injury and illness risk factors. Our evidence-based recommendations are meant to reduce fractures, spinal injuries, concussions, and other activity-related issues that can happen in sports or other active settings while also minimizing downtime and improving performance.
Our Mission
To improve the health, safety, and performance of athletes and active people through scientific guidance and support.
Our Vision
To be the trusted leader in making sports and physical activity safer through data-driven analytics and scientific research.
Our Philosophy
Because we are an independent non-profit organization, Datalys can conduct short-term and long-term studies at lower costs than for-profit contract research organizations and independent researchers. While we often solicit grants from competitive sources, we can also work with program sponsors to find innovative and creative ways to fund programs important to them because of our flexibility.

Do More With Data
One of the Datalys Center’s main goals is disseminating sports injury surveillance data and research. At Datalys, we publish study findings in peer-reviewed journals, collaborate with other researchers, create summary reports and fact sheets, and deliver aggregate sports injury epidemiology information through our Data Injury Statistics Clearinghouse (DISC). You can submit a data request if you are a researcher from an academic institution, a media member, a governing body, or a private sector organization. Remember that the Datalys Center and the Datalys Center Scientific Advisory Board review all DISC applications before approval.
