Firearm injuries are the second leading cause of death among children and teens (0 – 18 years of age) in the United States. To address this key public health and criminal justice problem, the National Institute of Health has recently funded the Firearm Safety Among Children and Teens (FACTs) Consortium with a capacity building grant. FACTS is comprised by scholars from various fields and universities around the country. This capacity building grant is focused on developing research resources to stimulate novel research in the field of pediatric firearm injury and death, including developing a research agenda and conducting pilot work to stimulate large-scale research. This presentation presents an overview of FACTS, its research agenda, and next steps in its capacity building efforts.
