Purpose

This opportunity will provide grants for investigator-initiated research to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative and promising strategies to prevent all forms of firearm-related violence and injuries.

Research examples include:

  • Effective strategies to prevent interpersonal and suicide/self-directed acts of firearm violence, mass shooting incidents, unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, and crime
  • Effective strategies for different population groups (such as children, youth, active-duty military/veterans, rural/tribal, and those at risk of harming themselves or others)
  • Effective strategies for different settings (such as rural/urban, school, neighborhood, and community) that can be leveraged to prevent firearm-related injuries and crime
  • Effective strategies addressing a range of individual, peer/family, community and societal risk and protective factors, including strategies that address social and structural conditions that contribute to racial/ethnic inequities in risk for firearm violence

Funding Option A will support research projects that rely on existing data and do not support implementation of prevention activities.

Funding Option B will support research projects that require support for new data collection activities and/or the implementation of prevention activities.
