In this issue: In early 2024, the California Firearm Violence Research Center's grant program sought proposals to support rigorous and equitable research on the causes, consequences, and prevention of violence and evaluations of policies and interventions that expand the evidence about what contributes to preventing violence and improving safety and equity outcomes.

We are thrilled to award $225,000 in research grant funding to three outstanding proposals. The projects are highlighted in images below and recognized in this UC Davis Health news story. Congratulations to our grantees!
