Plain Language Summary

# National Gun Violence Research Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The National Gun Violence Research Act of 2025 would authorize and fund research into gun violence as a public health issue. While specific provisions aren't detailed in the available information, bills with this title typically aim to remove restrictions on federal agencies (particularly the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) conducting epidemiological studies and data analysis on gun-related injuries and deaths, similar to how they research other public health threats. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect public health researchers, federal health agencies, and potentially gun owners and manufacturers—depending on what research restrictions are modified. It could influence how gun violence prevention policies are developed by providing scientific data to inform decisions. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a floor vote.

It was sponsored by Representative Valerie P. Foushee (D-NC-4). Without the full text available, the specific research priorities and funding amounts cannot be detailed here. *Note: For complete details on provisions, check Congress.gov or contact the sponsoring representative's office.*.
