Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), $25 million for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $1 million for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to conduct public health research into firearm morbidity and mortality prevention. [...] We are grateful to Congress for providing $12.5 million for the CDC and $12.5 million for the NIH in FY 2024 and encourage Congress to sustain and build on this funding in FY 2025. [...] Rigorous prevention research that can accurately quantify and describe the roots of gun violence, inform strategies for responsible gun owners to avoid preventable injuries and deaths, and identify non-partisan opportunities for reducing the related morbidity and mortality is the foundation of such an approach. [...] Our groups strongly urge Congress to increase the funding level to $35 million for the CDC, $25 million for the NIH, and $1 million for the NIJ for firearm morbidity and mortality prevention research as part of FY 2025 appropriations.
