The University of Michigan Institute for Firearm Injury Prevention is pleased to announce a 12-week summer training program focused on building greater capacity for conducting firearm injury prevention research among faculty, postdoctoral trainees, and doctoral candidates in health-related fields including nursing, medicine, public health, and social work. 

 

This hybrid short course opportunity blends asynchronous coursework, a one-week in-person classroom immersion in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and 8–12 weeks of virtual one-on-one mentorship in firearm injury research. Fellows will have valuable opportunities to build connections with their cohort and future scholars. The program is offered at no cost, with all travel, lodging, and meal expenses for the in-person component covered.
