Abstract

Firearm injuries are a leading cause of injury-related deaths in the U.S., but there is a dearth of federal funding for research on firearm injury prevention, compared to funding for research on other injuries and diseases. University research centers/institutes (C/Is) are in a position to help generate such research: they are multidisciplinary, have the capacity to conduct large-scale research projects, and commonly address complex health and social problems. In this article, we trace the history of research on firearm injury prevention, describe the different kinds of C/Is and C/I networks that have been developed to build knowledge in other areas of critical social concern, and argue for the development of a national coordinated network of firearm injury prevention C/Is.

多学科研究中心和网络如何推进枪支伤害预防科学

在美国，枪支伤害是伤害相关死亡的主要原因，但与其他伤害和疾病的研究资金相比，枪支伤害预防研究缺乏联邦资金。大学研究中心/研究所(C/Is)能够帮助开展这类研究:它们是多学科的，有能力开展大型研究项目，通常处理复杂的健康和社会问题。在本文中，我们追溯了枪支伤害预防研究的历史，描述了不同类型的C/I和C/I网络，这些网络已被开发用于在其他关键社会关注领域建立知识，并主张发展一个国家协调的枪支伤害预防C/I网络。

期刊介绍： The AAPSS seeks to promote the progress of the social sciences and the use of social science knowledge in the enrichment of public understanding and in the development of public policy. It does so by fostering multidisciplinary understanding of important questions among those who create, disseminate, and apply the social sciences, and by encouraging and celebrating talented people who produce and use research to enhance public understanding of important social problems.
