AHE Gun Violence Prevention Grants Program

About the Program:

 

Accelerate Health Equity (AHE) is excited to invite applications for our inaugural grants program with a call for proposals focused on gun violence prevention.

Gun violence is a crisis in Philadelphia, and gun violence research is critical but underfunded. AHE believes gun violence is a health equity issue and the goal of this RFP is to support innovative projects focused on the efficacy, outcomes, and scalability of health system-based interventions in Philadelphia. To learn more, see our announcement flier and read the FAQ below.
