2025 Funding Opportunity

The Kaiser Permanente Center for Gun Violence Research and Education is pursuing a world free of gun violence, where impacted communities drive the meaningful change needed for a healthy and safe society. Coordinated in collaboration with Health Alliance for Violence Intervention (HAVI), the Center endeavors to transform the gun violence research and education field.

The Center seeks to meet these needs by broadening the field of research to include more researchers and organizations that focus explicitly on healthcare approaches to addressing gun violence and work closely with communities affected by gun violence. The 2025 Funding Opportunity aims to invest in efforts that advance evidence for healthcare interventions that reduce the incidence and impact of community gun violence and firearm suicide and promote well-being and healing where it is needed most.

Category 2: up to $300,000 across two years
