Collaborative Funds New Research into Effectiveness of Red Flag Laws

The National Collaborative on Gun Violence Research (NCGVR) has funded new research projects examining the effectiveness of extreme risk protection orders (ERPOs), or red flag laws.

More than $2 million in funding has been awarded across five projects covering topics including intimate partner violence, judicial decisionmaking, and police shootings.

Additional projects from this round of grantmaking are still being finalized, which if confirmed would bring the total funding to $2.8 million.

NCGVR director Andrew Morral said the new research will help improve our understanding of ERPOs, including how, when, and for whom they are most likely to be effective.

Support for this round of grantmaking was provided by Arnold Ventures.
