Description
The CDC’s National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), also known as the Injury Center, supports investigator-initiated research to rigorously evaluate innovative and promising approaches to firearm-related harm. Research must address prevention without infringing on the rights of legal firearm owners. Covered outcomes include mass shootings, defensive gun use incidents, homicides and assaults, suicide and self-harm, unintentional firearm injuries and deaths, and firearm-related crime.
The program supports evaluations of effectiveness, including tests of scaling up, expanding, or improving prevention approaches. Research may examine different populations and settings or address individual, peer/family, community, and societal risk and protective factors. Two funding options distinguish studies using existing data from those requiring new data collection and/or implementation of prevention activities.
