REFRAMING GUN VIOLENCE AS A PUBLIC HEALTH ISSUE
Gun violence is a leading cause of death and injury in
America, and it is steadily increasing. There are now 38,000 gun
deaths a year in America, a number that continues to climb. Gun
deaths of young people are increasing at an especially high rate.
While the Surgion General of the United States and the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have acknowledged gun
violence as a public health epidemic, most laws and public
policies treat gun violence as a purely criminal problem. The
Foundation’s focus is on reframing gun violence as a public
health issue.
The Joyce Foundation seeks to foster broader public
understanding of the health implications of gun violence - an
understanding that will lead to strategies that emphasize
prevention and do not rely solely on punishment.
In the interest of decreasing gun injuries and deaths in
America, the Foundation will consider proposals directed toward
the following goals:
o strengthening public policies that deal with gun
violence as apublic health issue;
o developing, coordinating, and disseminating policy
research that collects and analyzes gun violence data
from a public health perspective and examines
prevention strategies;
o encouraging and strengthening the activity of medical
professionals in addressing gun violence as a public
health issue;
o supporting coalitions that address gun violence as a
public health issue and promote policies that reflect
that view; and
o increasing public awareness of gun violence as a public
health issue.
In general, we will limit our consideration to proposals
focusing on gun violence rather than on broader violence issues.
We seek proposals that place a priority on evaluating the impact
of their work and that include an evaluation plan. Because of
the Foundation’s Midewest focus, locally oriented proposals from
outside the Midwest region are unlikely to receive support.
