Gun policy is one of the most divided topics in Congress. Even though this bill focuses on research rather than bans, it faces a very difficult path in a split legislature.

Impact Analysis

Life & Work

The bill would fund education and training for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars in gun violence research. It also directs NSF to award grants to universities to establish National Centers for Violence Research. This creates new academic opportunities and career paths in a research field that has been severely underfunded for decades.
