How gun policies affect a wide range of stakeholder interests, such as defensive gun use.
In addition to basic and descriptive projects, the RFP will request applied and policy research proposals on gun violence prevention and on the effects of gun regulations at the local, state, and federal levels.
The solicitation will include opportunity to apply for dissertation awards as well as new post-doctoral research fellowship awards.
