摘要

Objectives

To compare the differences in US federal funding sources for firearm injury prevention and publications.

Methods

We extracted publications from three literature databases and grant data for five federal agencies (CDC, NIH, SAMHSA, NSF, NIJ) through federal archives from 2020 to 2022, excluding case studies, editorials, and literature reviews. Specific funding sources for publications were further extracted. We calculated funding-to-publication (F-P) ratios for federal public health, science, and criminal justice agencies and tested associations. Health agencies with grant data included the CDC, NIH, and SAMHSA and were categorized as public health agencies. The NSF was classified as science and engineering. The NIJ was classified as criminal justice.

Results

The three largest funders were the NIH, CDC, and NIJ, and were associated with the most publications, with health agencies funding most studies (86%). Health agencies had higher F-P ratios than the NSF and NIJ. Public health funders were more likely to fund experimental studies, studies related to suicide, and unintentional firearm injury prevention. NIJ and NSF were more likely to support research on mass shootings. Most studies funded by all agencies examined community violence.

Conclusions

The NIH and CDC supported most firearm-injury-related grant funding and subsequent publications from 2020 to 2022. Differences in funding existed depending on the types of firearm injury. Federal funding is imperative to advance the science of firearm injury prevention, and future funding across federal agencies should be aligned with national public health and safety needs.
