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 program is designed to support early-career nurse scientists and allied health professionals in developing cutting-edge research skills in firearm injury prevention, strengthening interdisciplinary collaboration, and building a national community of scholars dedicated to community-engaged research.
The program begins with a 3.5-day in-person intensive in Aurora, Colorado (February 23–26, 2026), followed by weekly virtual sessions through May. There is no cost to participate, and all travel, lodging, and meals for the in-person intensive are covered for accepted scholars.
- Priority deadline: November 7, 2025
- Final deadline: December 5, 2025 (rolling admissions as space allows)
Applicants from nursing, public health, medicine, and related fields are encouraged to apply, including those new to firearm injury prevention research.
