Nearly $8 million in funding for projects looking at impact of gun violence

The National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research, which funds nonpartisan research on firearms policy, announced $7.5 million in funding to support half a dozen projects on gun violence and its impact on communities. The initiatives range from looking at whether gun-free zones in St. Louis reduce or increase gun violence to how access to firearms impacts intimate partner homicide and other acts of violence in Missouri and Oregon. This is the second such funding round from the independent group, which last year announced nearly $10 million toward helping fill the gap left by the historic lack of federal funding for gun policy research (although a 2019 spending bill for the first time in 20 years included $25 million earmarked for firearms research).
