Grandmothers Against Gun Violence seeks to support emerging scholars in gun violence prevention and to solicit research proposals for projects within Washington State. Awards range from $15k-$75k. Grandmothers Against Gun Violence Foundation (GAGVF) works to end gun violence in our communities by raising funds for research that informs public health and safety policies. The Foundation was created as a 501c3 nonprofit in 2019 to address the decades-long absence of research on gun violence and its prevention. We recognize gun violence as a complex public health problem that takes many forms: suicides, homicides, mass shootings, unintentional shootings, intergenerational trauma, and community violence. We seek remedies in research, education, and community engagement. We believe that sustained investments in research on gun violence and its prevention will lead to policies that save lives.
Research Priorities
- We seek to support emerging researchers in gun violence prevention.
- We solicit proposals for research projects conducted within Washington State.
- We encourage interdisciplinary research that involves disciplines such as public health, social work, psychology, medicine, nursing, public policy, urban planning, epidemiology, and education.
- We encourage research projects that address community-identified problems related to gun ownership, gun violence, and impacts on children, youth and families.
- We encourage projects that identify new questions or issues in an under-funded or emerging area of gun violence prevention research. Examples include:
- What are the impacts of gun violence within families? How are children, parents and grandparents who have a lost family member to gun violence differentially affected?
- What approaches to conflict resolution offer the best alternatives to gun ownership and use for groups impacted by interpersonal violence?
- How are older adults impacted by gun ownership and/or gun violence?
- What are current trends in gun ownership and gun use by women?
- We encourage projects that build on findings from projects previously funded by the Foundation. See summaries of previous research projects on the Foundation website.
