This Project Grant award of $792,642.00, made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Injury Prevention and Control under the Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs (CFDA 93.136), will support research, education, training, and direct services aimed at preventing various forms of injuries and violence.
The primary awardee, the University of California, Davis, will serve as the lead institution, collaborating with the University of Florida and Gonzaga University as sub-awardees. Key activities to be undertaken include examining the effects of anti-poverty policies like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) on community violence outcomes, investigating modifiable mechanisms linking income support policies to violence, and assessing the role of these policies in addressing racial/ethnic gaps in violence exposure. The sub-awardees will contribute expertise in quantitative and computational methodologies, research on gun violence and family wellbeing, and climate literacy education, respectively. The award period spans 3 years, from September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2027.
