This gift supports the annual convening of researchers, students, practitioners and policymakers dedicated to advancing evidence-based solutions to firearm-related harms. Funds will directly support the costs of hosting a three-day national conference, including venue rental, catering, technology support and keynote speaker honoraria. In addition, this gift helps provide competitive travel awards for students and early-career scholars who might otherwise be unable to attend due to financial barriers — ensuring a more inclusive and diverse community of participants.
By contributing to this fund, donors help accelerate the development and dissemination of firearm injury prevention research. The conference fosters interdisciplinary collaboration, mentoring and the translation of research into actionable strategies that promote community safety. This gift empowers a new generation of researchers and equips decision-makers with the tools needed to address one of the most pressing public health issues in the U.S. today.
