There’s more to learn about violence prevention.
We Help Preserve Futures Through Actionable Research
With your financial support, we can:
Expand the efforts of the Centers for Violence Prevention to understand and prevent violence in all its forms.
Enhance the interdisciplinary breadth of the Centers with new faculty positions to address critical questions related to violence.
Translate research into evidence-driven policy and programs that offer communities and lawmakers insights for decreasing violence
Your Support is Critical
Violence is a major health and social problem that affects all people in its wake — but it shouldn’t be this way. With your help, we will turn research into action, informing policy and collaborating with communities to develop effective responses to violence so that all people can live free from violence in all forms.
Gifts to support CVP can be made through the Violence Prevention Research Program Fund.
