The Gun Violence Prevention Research Act of 2025 authorizes $50 million annually to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to conduct and support research on firearm safety and gun violence prevention. The funding would run from fiscal year 2026 through 2031, totaling $300 million over the six-year period, and is separate from any existing CDC appropriations. This research authorization would allow the CDC to study topics related to reducing gun violence and improving firearm safety practices. The bill affects public health agencies and researchers working in this field, as it provides dedicated federal resources for scientific investigation into gun violence as a public health issue. The legislation was introduced in July 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce.
