Who We Are

We are medical, public health, and research organizations who share the priority of growing the field of firearm violence prevention research through sustained and expanded federal investments.

Our Work

For the first time in decades, Congress on a bipartisan basis has funded meaningful scientific research designed to understand firearm injuries and deaths, including preventing violent crime, reducing suicide among veterans, preventing unintentional shootings by children, and promoting optimal firearm safety.
