Linda Ellen Saltzman (September 8, 1949 – March 9, 2005) was an American public health researcher who worked at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) from 1984 until her death in 2005.[1] She was especially known for her research on domestic violence, which has been credited with helping to define the entire field.[2] She has been described as "...one of the CDC’s top experts on violence, and one of the violence prevention movement’s most trusted allies."[3] In 2007, the CDC established the Linda Saltzman New Investigator Award in her memory; it is awarded biennially to a new researcher in the field of domestic violence.[3]
