NIH: Research on Community Level Interventions for Firearm and Related Violence, Injury and Mortality Prevention

Violence affects people of all ages and its impact is far-reaching. It is a leading cause of death and nonfatal injuries in the United States and constitutes a major public health crisis, especially among young people, and in particular among racial/ethnic minority, sexual and gender minority (SGM) and disability populations.

Details:

The purpose of this FOA is to fund additional research projects that will develop and test prospective interventions at the community or community organization level with the aim of preventing firearm and related violence, injury and mortality. These research projects will become part of the existing Community-Level Interventions for Firearm Violence Prevention Research Network (CLIF-VP), which also includes a Coordinating Center. Funded under a cooperative agreement, members of the CLIF-VP Research Network will collaborate to share approaches, data, and methods, working closely with NIH Institutes, Offices and Centers. Applicants applying to this FOA are encouraged to review the Coordinating Center FOA (PAR-22-120) to fully understand the CLIF-VP Research Network structure and activities.

Research Objectives

The CLIF-VP Research Network will support a network of research projects to develop and test prospective interventions at the community or community organization level that aim to prevent firearm and related violence, injury and mortality.

Research questions could include but are not limited to:

  • What new and innovative violence intervention practices can be developed from existing theory and/or basic social and behavioral research that would provide additive or complementary effectiveness to existing programs and practices?
  • How can the type and dose of various intervention components be combined and/or sequenced to optimize effectiveness and/or adoption potential in a broad range of communities to reduce violence, especially firearm violence? This could include examination of dosing and timing of intervention components that occur in different sectors such as healthcare, education, and policing.
  • What role do the unique contextual factors of communities and/or community organizations play in enhancing or inhibiting the potential effects of intervention programs? Which program components are generalizable across communities/organizations and which may be effective only under certain contextual conditions? This could include examination of whether interventions are effective across different socially marginalized populations (e.g., LGBTQ, disability) that are known to be disproportionally impacted by firearm and related violence.
  • How do various sources of adaptation (e.g., intervention content, mode of delivery, population, setting) within a range of community or community organizational contexts impact the effectiveness of the intervention on both (firearm) violence prevention and implementation outcomes? What are the community, organizational and contextual level barriers and facilitators to adoption, scale up, and sustainability of programs and practices and what are the best implementation strategies to address those barriers?
