March 2020

In March 2020, OBSSR, along with partnering NIH institutes and centers, publishes funding opportunity announcements for research to improve the understanding of determinants of firearm injury, the identification of those at risk of firearm injury (including both victims and perpetrators), the development and evaluation of innovative interventions to prevent firearm injury and mortality, and the examination of approaches to improve the implementation of existing, evidence-based interventions to prevent firearm injury and mortality. Additional funding opportunities were released in 2021.
