About the 2022 Conference

The 2022 National Research Conference on Firearm Injury Prevention was held on November 29-December 1, 2022, with the goals of:

• promoting interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary scientific research,

• nurturing and supporting the next generation of researchers in the field,

• creating opportunities and supporting researchers from communities and populations affected by firearm-related harms, as well as creating specific opportunities for researchers from underrepresented populations, and

• highlighting rigorous peer-reviewed scientific research and evidence-based practice.

The event was co-organized by the University of Michigan Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention, the RAND Corporation, the Columbia Scientific Union for the Reduction of Gun Violence (SURGE), and the National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research (NCGVR).
