Firearm Injury Prevention Research in Nursing (FIPRN) Scholars Program

We are excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2026 cohort of the Firearm Injury Prevention Research in Nursing (FIPRN) Scholars Program, hosted by the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. This 12-week hybrid training initiative is designed to equip early-career nurse scientists and allied health professionals with cutting-edge research skills in firearm injury prevention, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and build a national network of scholars committed to community-engaged research.

The program includes a 3.5-day in-person intensive in Aurora, CO (February 23–26, 2026), followed by weekly virtual sessions through May. There is no cost to participate, and travel, lodging, and meals for the in-person intensive are covered for accepted scholars. Applications received by the priority deadline of November 7, 2025 will be reviewed first, with rolling admissions as space allows through the final deadline of December 5, 2025. We encourage applicants from nursing, public health, medicine, and related fields to apply—even if new to the field of firearm injury prevention research.
