Kaiser Permanente Center for Gun Violence Research and Education invites applications for spring 2024 funding opportunity

Established in 2022, the Kaiser Permanente Center for Gun Violence Research and Education supports equity-centered research that addresses the root causes of community violence, educates the public on causes and solutions, and partners with the most impacted communities to innovate, implement, and scale evidence-based health-focused interventions that prevent gun violence.

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 and invites applications for the spring 2024 funding opportunity, which 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. 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.

Funding opportunities are available in three categories:

Category One: Grants of up to $60,000 over two years will be awarded to build the capacity of organizations and individuals involved in gun violence prevention to engage in research activities.

Category Two: Grants of up to $200,000 over two years will be awarded to expand evidence-based interventions, clinical care models, educational initiatives, or communications projects alongside enhanced research capabilities.

Category Three: Grants of up to $600,000 over three years will be awarded to advance publishable research that will shift and inform how the field understands and approaches gun violence prevention and intervention.

Eligible applicants include individuals, institutions, and organizations that intend to engage or are already engaged in research on gun violence prevention.

Letters of intent are due November 14, 2023, at 12 noon ET. Upon review, selected applicants will be invited to submit a full proposal in early December 2023.

For complete program guidelines and application instructions, see the Kaiser Permanente Center for Gun Violence Research and Education website.

Deadline: November 14, 2023 at 12 noon ET
