Purpose

This opportunity will provide grants for research to inform the development or improvement of prevention programs, policies, or practices that have the potential to substantially reduce firearm-related violence, injuries, death, or crime within populations or settings experiencing elevated risk.

Research examples include:

  • Enhance understanding of the underlying factors influencing recent increases in firearm mortality rates and widening racial/ethnic and other disparities to inform prevention efforts
  • Improve understanding of the scope of and motivations for gun ownership, possession, acquisition, storage, and use, including defensive gun use among youth and adults, and how these motivations and behaviors are distributed across populations and communities at greatest risk for perpetration and victimization to inform prevention strategies
  • Identify modifiable risk and protective factors for firearm-related perpetration and victimization in particularly vulnerable populations (such as children, youth, active-duty military/Veterans, rural/tribal populations, persons at risk for experiencing intimate partner violence, and persons at risk of harming themselves or others) to inform prevention strategies

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.
