This bill directs the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to create a publicly accessible online database of research on gun violence in the United States within one year of the law's enactment. The database will compile peer-reviewed studies and government-issued research that meet specific standards for data quality, methodology, and transparency, including disclosure of funding sources and authorship. The database will incorporate existing government health data sources such as mortality statistics, emergency department visits, and youth risk behavior surveys, and must be updated every six months. The bill also clarifies that federal health agencies can use their existing funding to conduct gun violence research. The legislation authorizes $5 million per year from 2026 through 2030 to establish and maintain the database and support related research efforts.
