May 21, 2026
The MMA signed onto a letter to Congress’ Committee on Appropriations on May 18, urging leaders to include funding in the 2027 budget for gun violence prevention research.
More than 400 national, state, and local medical, public health, and research organizations signed the letter urging $35 million for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), $25 million for the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and $1 million for the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to conduct public health research into firearm morbidity and mortality prevention.
“We represent many medical, public health, and research organizations, including members who are proud firearm owners,” the letter says. “The freedom of individuals to own firearms can and should be balanced with protecting children and their families from serious harm, and ensuring the health, security, and well-being of all people. This is why our organizations strongly support federal funding for research into firearm morbidity and mortality prevention.”
