The National Teen Research Center (NTRC) was
established in 2005 by the Joshua Brown Foundation to develop the most
technologically advanced driver training programs for teen drivers.
The NTRC has assembled some of the most
recognized non-profit safety organizations and technical companies in the
country to redefine driver education and produce a proven training program for
teens that save lives. Research classrooms that include a computerized
curriculum and driving simulators have been developed to measure driving
responses, curriculum effectiveness, crash reduction techniques, and general
knowledge of rules of the road.
The Teen Review Board assists the National Teen Research Center with a peer review group of high school students ages 15-18 that
can assist in the development of successful messaging to teens in the area of
teen driving safety. Additionally, they will assist in the coordination of teen
surveys that incorporates risk assessment activities, safe driving techniques,
and peer pressure influences.
A focus of the NTRC is the development of a risk
assessment program that measures the levels of risk a teen is willing to take—in
driving and other social situations. This information assists parents and
professionals in identifying appropriate public policy decisions as it relates
to driving readiness.

The Joshua Brown
Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit foundation founded in 2004, was
organized because Joshua Brown’s parents realized too late that
driver’s education might have saved his life. When he lost control
of his vehicle on a wet road, he did not know what to do. Within one
year, Alan and LuGina Brown successfully raised a quarter of a
million dollars to provide driving simulators and training to
Joshua’s former high school, organized a non-profit dedicated to
safer teen driving, and passed Joshua’s Law in the Georgia General
Assembly. The Foundation has successfully brought together those who
are interested in solving the challenges of teen
driving—researchers, parents, government leaders, and private sector
resources—in an amazingly short period of time.
