This month we are featuring a report from the Black and Brown Collective for Community Solutions to Gun Violence titled The Case for More Equitable and Community-Engaged Research to Address Firearm-Related Violence in Black and Brown Communities. The report highlights the lack of gun violence research funding and the need to better understand academic and policy discourse around community violence.
Among their main recommendations they highlight the importance of investing in Black and Brown-led research centers, advocating for intentional, equity-focused funding for Black and Brown scholars, funding comprehensive research that explore a broad range of outcomes associated with violence intervention and prevention, collaborating with schools and universities to increase student awareness of research opportunities, establishing formal partnerships with community-based violence prevention practitioners, and working with advocacy groups to translate research findings into evidence-informed solutions.
More information about the report can be found here.
