Overview

Mission The Center endeavors to transform the gun violence research and education field. We change narratives about the value and impact of actionable, health-focused solutions by: Partnering with communities disproportionately impacted by gun violence;Uniting rigorous scientific discovery with community-led approaches; andFunding research and education initiatives that empower communities most impacted by gun violence to create solutions to this national epidemic. Program Focus There is an urgent need for better health systems approaches to addressing community gun violence and firearm suicide and minimizing the indelible impact it has on all communities. Such enhanced solutions require stronger evidence on what works in a range of healthcare settings, including hospitals, FQHCs, and other community-based health centers to: reduce community gun violence or firearm suicideto identify individuals at highest risk of community gun violence or firearm suicide to improve clinical care for survivors.

This Funding Opportunity aims to invest in efforts that advance evidence for healthcare interventions that reduce the incidence and impact of community gun violence and firearm suicide and promote well being and healing where it is needed most.
