Changing the Landscape
Spring 2024 Funding Opportunity
The Center seeks to broaden the field of gun violence research to include more researchers and organizations that work closely with communities affected by gun violence. The Spring 2024 Funding Opportunity aims to invest in efforts that advance evidence for 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.
Why:
There is an urgent need for better solutions to prevent community gun violence and firearm suicide and minimize the indelible impact it has on all communities, especially communities of color. There is also an urgent need for evidence on what works and for communities to have a more prominent role in leading and producing this knowledge.
Who:
The Center’s Spring 2024 Funding Opportunity seeks to support individuals, institutions, and organizations that intend to engage or are already engaged in research on gun violence prevention. It will also support projects that educate and change narratives regarding gun violence, focused on the public health approach. Funding support will be prioritized for organizations led by or meaningfully serving communities disproportionately impacted by gun violence.
What:
Funding opportunities are available in three categories:
Category 1: Up to $60,000/2 years (or up to $30,000/year for 2 years)
Build the capacity of organizations and individuals involved in gun violence prevention to engage in research activities.
Category 2: Up to $200,000/2 years (or up to $100,000/year for 2 years)
Expand evidence-based interventions, clinical care models, educational initiatives, or communications projects alongside enhanced research capabilities.
Category 3: Up to $600,000/3 years (or up to $200,000/year for 3 years)
Advance publishable research that will shift and inform how the field understands and approaches gun violence prevention and intervention
