January 25, 2023 - Researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health have received a five-year, $5 million grant to support research on firearm injuries and deaths.The grant, from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, will be a vital tool in advancing research on gun violence prevention in the U.S. The field has been substantially underfunded in recent years due to both restricted federal funding and charitable foundations' reluctance to enter the politically-charged debate about firearms, according to David Hemenway, professor of health policy at Harvard Chan School and director of the Harvard Injury Control Research Center (HICRC).
