Mission

To generate new knowledge and advance innovative solutions to reduce firearm injury across the United States.

The University of Michigan launched its Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention in 2021 with a $10 million commitment to catalyze and expand research, scholarship and training around firearm injury prevention. The Institute fosters research that is mindful of the critical social and historical context of firearms in the United States, and that is inclusive of diverse viewpoints, disciplinary perspectives and approaches.

With a focus on public engagement, the Institute solidifies U-M as a top public research university addressing this public health crisis, and leading the nation in the science and training of firearm injury prevention.

Areas of Research Focus

The Institute serves as the national hub for research that drives new solutions to firearm injuries across the lifespan. The Institute’s focus areas include firearm-related suicide, firearm-related intimate partner violence, unintentional firearm injury, police violence, technology and firearm injury prevention, and mass/school shootings.

The multidisciplinary Institute includes work at any stage along the translational research spectrum, and is focused at any level within the socio-ecological model (individual, family, community, or policy). Research projects cover the lifespan, urban/rural populations, and work to address disparities in firearm injuries by race, gender, geographic location, and socioeconomic status.

Institute Structure

Supported by an organizational structure that provides internal oversight and external guidance, the Institute focuses activities across five cores:

Research and Scholarship
Education and Training
Community Engagement and Communication
