About this program

 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC or the Injury Center) is soliciting investigator-initiated research to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of innovative and promising approaches to prevent all forms of firearm-related injuries, deaths, violence, or crime without infringing on the rights of legal firearm owners.

Applicants may submit a research proposal under either Funding Option A or B (not both).Funding Option A will support research projects that rely on existing data to evaluate effectiveness and that do not support implementing prevention activities. These projects will be funded up to $350,000 per year (direct and indirect costs) for a period of performance up to 2 years.Funding Option B will support research projects that require new data collection and/or implementation of prevention activities to evaluate effectiveness. These projects will be funded up to $650,000 per year (direct and indirect costs) for a period of performance up to 3 years.Investigations could, for example, conduct research to evaluate the effectiveness and/or test the effects of scaling up, expanding, or improving approaches: 1) ​To prevent mass shooting incidents, suicide/self-harm firearm injuries, firearm-related assaults and homicides, unintentional firearm deaths and injuries, and firearm-related crime; 2) ​To study defensive gun use as a strategy for prevention of injuries, deaths, and crime 3) ​For different population groups (e.g., children, youth, young adults, active-duty military/veterans, rural communities, tribal populations, and those at risk of harming themselves or others, including in situations of family and intimate partner violence); 4) ​For different settings (e.g., rural/urban, home, school, neighborhood, community, online) that can be leveraged to prevent firearm-related injuries and crime; 5) ​For addressing various individual, peer/family, community and societal risk and protective factors including approaches that address the community factors that contribute to firearm-related injuries, violence, deaths, and crime.
